What's the best way to install the little rubber points into the body of the car for the hood bumpers.
Thanks,

Lube and push/twist back forth. A small point awl also helps to coax it in.

Ordinary dish washing liquid is a good lube for installing rubbery bits

I sharpened a 1/4" wooden dowel in a pencil sharpener, used di-electric silicone grease as lube. Poked the lubed rubber tip in with the dowel while twisting it into place. The dowel wont scratch the paint when it slips off. Pat

Thanks again, you guys make this too easy.

I pulled on the rubber nub from below with needle nose pliers.

I used Goop water less hand cleaner and lots of swearing, at least on one of them.

I scored them around their base with a steak knife to form more of a rivet shape. Did the trick.

I always smash one with a hammer ...and let the others see it ....they go it pretty easy then
