Default anyone have garageline hood struts?

I have the parts, but don't have the instructions.

Can someone share a picture of what it looks like installed?

Things I am trying to figure out:
1) Which orientation are the shocks mounted in?

2) Do engine bay mounts go where there is currently a snap clip just forward of the battery/fluid covers?

3) The engine bay mounts only came with one washer per mount... should I put the washer on the bolt head side or nut side?

4) What do I do with the little cap of stuff and Qtip?

Thanks!

I have them. Unfortunately, my car's in the shop getting some suspension parts installed but I followed the Z1 installation guide for their hood struts since it's exactly the same.

https://www.z1motorsports.com/upload...ll%20guide.pdf

If I recall correctly, I put the washer on the nut side, but according to the instructions above, orientation doesn't matter.

The Q-tip is used to put the grease inside the cups prior to snapping them into place so they don't make noises.

Hope this helps some.

I used the guide as well.
