The bumpers go outside of the hood, and the latch presses against it..

There is also supposed to be one mounted to the body in the center of the hood opening, it would be on the inside when the hood is closed..

I like them...they keep the latches snug and they keep the hood from rubbing on the latches and vise versa...
