I didn't see any compression spring for hood rebound in the manual.
Where are these rubber bumpers?
I think I am missing them.

Thanks

We have 2 round-ish, black, rubber bumpers, on each corner end on the underside of the hood/lid. They can be rotated clockwise and counter-clockwise to align the hood properly, to the level of the front bumper's edge. Same goes for the rear trunk lid.

I've seen spanking brand new 991/981's at the dealership with poor alignment on these hoods/lids.
