Be careful if you go to far the hood will catch them on the way down and wedge them up under the dash. I did this 3 years ago and the hood hasn't rattled since.

X2 on my 108. The cross piece support on the back of the hood near the dash had big grooves in it where those spring latches wore it away. Great advice Mr. G about not going to far with them, mine were stuck up in there pretty badly when I got it.
