Has Anyone had experience with replacement hood springs. Bought a pair from Idas and they don't seem right, looks like there will be interference when the hood is installed. They seem awful tight, seems like there should be a little length between the hook & the spring proper.
Thanks for any help,

Do they seem short or are they disfigured.You realy need to stretch them to get them on,3-4 inches,chef-
