Why in the boxes?? The old originals looked ok, the pivots were a little worn, figured I get new ones, done deal.
I installed them, I think they were the counter part brand, I 'd have to check, anyway, as you found, mine also dropped before raising, just enough to touch the paint.
I cleaned the old originals, bolted them in, and still working fine.
Your not the only one with this issue, find some originals.

I was thinking the re-pops may be a little thinner material and flex some or just off in the design slightly and causing the problem.
I modified the mounting holes trying to get them to work so they're mine to keep.
I will get them to work with a tab hidden on the fender in each corner or I may just bite the bullet and buy the billet ones.
