Description

Help keep a closed hood sitting level and cushioned with the Dorman HELP Adjustable Hood Bumper, part number 42208. This front hood stop buffer is designed to fit and work like the original buffer it replaces. It fits many Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, among them the 1992-2003 Ford F-150, 1992-1999 Ford F-250 and 1990-1993 Ford Mustang. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.

A hood stop buffer gives the hood a cushioned resting point when it is closed. Because this one is adjustable, you can set its height to help the hood line up with the surrounding panels. Heat and fatigue can wear out or break the original buffer over time. If yours has failed, this unit replaces it.

Direct replacement: Engineered to fit and function like the factory buffer on the listed applications.
Adjustable design: Its height can be set during installation to suit the hood.
Durable construction: Made from quality materials and engineered for durability and reliable performance.
Trustworthy quality: Backed by Dorman's team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.

Signs this part may need replacing: a hood that rattles, flutters or sits unevenly when closed, or a buffer that is cracked, worn or missing.
