Greg, one of my original cars shows two bumpers, like TekHeavy, installed behind the seal. One is directly in front of the half-circle cutout of the lower window stainless, the other is halfway between the wiper/washer assembly and the horn relay, centered nearly perfectly between the two screws holding down the lower window stainless to the left of the driver's wiper mount when facing car. See pictures below.
Yes, these are much shorter than the ones in your kit

Thanks Kurt. I really appreciate it you guys.
What I'll do is grind the flat bottom until a get a reasonable height to maintain the shape of the top. What do you estimate the height of your originals to be Kurt? Just an estimate, don't trouble yourself with making another trip out there!

Greg, I have a complete car parked along side of my garage - it's no trouble to measure for you. I'll do that when I return home and take better pics for you.

Funny, mine is the only one so far that does not have a hole right there in front of the driver's seat. As stated, mine on that side is way over on the extreme left.
One thing I noticed is that when placed as yours all are, they fit into the openings on the underside of the hood vents. I wonder if it was some half-hearted attempt at preventing the hood from moving back into the windshield area and/or damaging the hinges in cases of minor front end collisions?

Yeah, you actually have to push the cowl seal forward to accommodate these things.
By the way, I looked at at least eight different '68s and '69s at the BOP&C show yesterday. Not a single one had these bumpers. Two or three had the screw with a flat washer in place of the center one.

pics from this morning- pulled the car cover back. Will begin work on this one soon. Pictures of all bumpers, front, rear and center. Center bumper is about 1 inch wide and about 3/4 inch tall.
