A buddy was over today and noticed my broken hood holders in the trunk. He said he could make new ones. Both the plastic and rubber parts.

Would there be any interest in these?

The rear rubber ones, but the price needs to be less than $13.99 (Tweeks).

you cheap ba$tards (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

knowing that these are availble new for under $20 bucks, I couldn't see anyone wanting to make these, or at least not if he wants to make a slight profit..........someone has to pay for the reverse engineering and the molds.

True for same old weak designs, but how about improving them? The front machined in aluminum and the rears in a newer stronger polymer so they don't crack! AND keep it under $20, yeah right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Wouldn't the fronts have to be out of a soft enough material so it didn't mark up the hood?

I'm game, but I need the fronts. My back rubbers are good but I'll take a kit if that is what is offered. I like the idea of machined alum rubber coated fronts. It is all too easy to lift the top and crack them. I like the plastic coated idea. I am assuming here that hood means top. Or do I have this really screwed up?

Hood = top = roof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think he was thinking about making them in plastic and rubber. When I see him I'll ask about strengthing the material in the area that they break.

On mine it was the top part of the plastic piece that broke (PO), same on the rubber part.

All plastics get brittle when exposed to ozone (think I read that somewhere)...

That's 30 year old material and technology....Why not make them Stronger, Faster, Better...

Do you use 20 year old paint? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Besides, if someone invested in the program and material, these can be cranked out on an CNC to get the price down to $20 ea.
