First, there is no flex at all on the bracket that goes on the hood. Moving the ball joint over may in fact cause the damper to rub hit even more, across the entire cover. Its kind of hard not to hit anything when the tray is in the way of everything

You do not need to cut the entire weather striping.
Shall I take video of the flex?

Yes moving it more towards the center and straightening it out might take some effort to "design" and get right but would ensure that it would work properly. I am kind of pissed that I didn't do this and start selling them myself.

Yes but you still have to cut it and that is my point. Where if a lower bracket were provided you wouldn't have to cut it. much like the one you see on the mustang kit where it moves the ball joint inline and not on top of the fender.

I am not trying to attack you at all nor do I think its a bad price for what you get or anything like that. I just feel that there wasn't much thought in the "kit" where there could have been and it would have made a much better product. But you get what you paid for I guess.
