Hood bumpers AGAIN!

On the recommendation of some board members I purchased OER hood bumpers. They are a bit softer than the 3 or 4 versions I now have, but as you can see they are smaller. (OER on left both pics). There is a brothers video on hood alignment I will attach. He says to install the bumpers after hood alignment. Really? It seems like they should be installed first. Am I wrong? He also doesn't mention the dreaded hood to cowl alignment, but we already know how to fix that issue.

Re: Hood bumpers AGAIN!

When I worked in body shop in the 70s, I was also told to do them last. They re not for alignment purposes, but to prenvent vibration rattles
