    I have heard of others saying to use weather stripping too. What kind and how are you keeping it in place?

    Weather stripping has a sticky backing so that it will stick where you put it
    You could maybe add a little glue or electrical tape if you are worried about it

    This bouncing kit is a dealer part, just you have to tell them to look up the technical bulletin for the vehicle. BUT.....this kit is for 2004+ GPs I don't think it works on the earlier models.

    I have the metal brackets installed in my '04 GP - been like that since I bought the car - but they don't have the retainer bolts in the top, and there aren't any holes tapped where they would mount. The metal brackets snap into place but every once in a while I hit a good bump or someone drops the hood down good and hard and they pop loose. No big deal, I just check them whenever I gas up and check the oil, but can I assume I only have half the fix kit installed?

    From what you are saying. Yeah, i'd say you only have part of the fix kit installed. Did you check the outside edge of the frame to see if the 90 Degree Metal Bracket was installed? All things considered, you could probably drill, tap and screw down a just about any sized bolt into the frame of the vehicle to finish the kit.
