Bruce49 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 How does one go about tightening them? Can't seem to get under there to do anything. Short of superglue (god help me if I miss...) how does one snug them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali_KR Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 How does one go about tightening them? Can't seem to get under there to do anything. Short of superglue (god help me if I miss...) how does one snug them up? I assume you mean hood vents? If so, both my 08 and 09 are slightly loose to the touch, but I've put 30k on my 08, and zero issues, so until they fly off, no worries mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Do you mean the hood vents? I do not believe that Shelby has any NOS hood vents, however, I could be wrong. You don't want to lose one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcan KobRa Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 You mean the heat extractors. Mine are a bit loose as well, I believe that's just the way they are. My guess is that it has something to do with the way the hood expands when it heats up so if they're too tight that may cause an fitment/paint chipping issue? That's my guess. AK.

oldlugs Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Mine are also loose and rattle when you wiggle 'em by hand. I don't notice them rattling while driving, though. Seems that SAI could have added a dab of silicone (or something) when they set 'em in place. Not sure how to remove 'em, or I'd add a dab of silicone myself.

From what I understand they snap in place and the snaps usually break when trying to take them out.

Bruce49 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Think I'll leave them alone for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_GT350 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 How about some duct tape..... as they say "If you can't fix it with duct tape or WD-40 you have an electrical problem" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
