One thing I do not understand is why the Ames version only has two studs at the rear/center and nothing on the front. As soon as I tighten those two nuts down, the front edge kicks up. That's not going to work for me. Looks like a J. C. Whitney add-on. The factory added a rivet, they say for theft protection but I wonder if it wasn't because of complaints about the appearance.
Has anyone needed to add a rivet or stud near the front edge to make it conform to the hood better? I'm doing one or the other today.
