    Did you make sure all the little molded in lugs are seated? I haven’t experienced saggy hoods like that, but have had it look rough when I didn’t get them engaged with the plastic housing properly. If they are just stretched out beyond repair then I’d replace because it would annoy me a bunch otherwise

      i think they are just stretched after a cable replacement. the lugs dont seem to want to line up to get pressed it. i guess i’m getting new ones !

        Did you need to remove them entirely? The few times I’ve done that, they seemed to be irreparably stretched - probably because of my cack-handed nature.
