Message	They are pointing backwards. They become a high speed liability this way. They will pop up with enough pressure under the front of the latch from high speed driving. If you are using this as a marketing tool to prove shop skills, the only thing you are showing here is your inability to follow and execute clear instructions. The car looks clean. The swap looks clean. But I'm very concerned that you made such a big mistake with such an important item.
