Q: Broken Hood Vents?
Any of you guys have problems with the hood vents breaking at the screw on the bottom?
I'm on my second broken one and it's getting 1. Annoying as hell and 2. Expensive as hell! I think the plastic is just too flimsy and over time those little posts crack. Anyone come up with a stronger solution that won't break? |
#2

FUnny you mention that.
I have a set Im playing with. Drill them out then countersink the top. Im looking at McMaster car for the perfect bolts now. Plans to reuse the 3/4" or so polyshock.

So you drilled them out and you're bolting them in?
That sounds like a good plan. Let me know what you find. |

Its the same fix you already have.
Get a drill bit slightly smaller than the hole on the hood vent mounting tab. Then drill through it out the top of the grille. Use a small countersink drill bit and go through the top of the grill just enough to seat your button head bolt in the plastic. Take the small black button head bolt, nut and washer and "through" bolt it to the hood. Works like a charm.

My passenger side hood vent flew off exiting a car wash. I would have rigged it back to the car, but unfortunately it got all scratched on the landing and I feel I must replace. Is there a good source for these vents besides Saleen?

I have never seen them offered anywhere else. It is a pretty specialized piece. I am on my second set as well. Need to drill out my broken set to bolt through I suppose...

I started with 8/32 button heads that were 1 inch when I failed to account for the poly bushing and thus they were short. Then the 10/24 button heads in black at 1.5in worked. These were flat under the head so I passed on the countersink. The polys seemed originally pulled down quite a bit and in the cold I chose to not cinch them down as tight. Thx for the share.

Is that a McMaster car bolt? DO you have the number?
The ones I bought arnt small enough to go through the holes in the lower panel of the hood. I could drill them out but thought I would rather find thinner bolts.

$3.20 to fix, less if I take back the extra parts. :)

Nope, just Ace hardware store. Lowes not quite the selection.

All the ones I find in black are the black alloy. Those will rust like crazy.
Did the 10/24 fit the hood holes...?

I need a set too. Are the one's on Saleen's site not aluminum? I have been looking for a set of aluminum vents for durability.
