MIne bent down as well. I flipped them over and tried that. It worked for like a week maybe. They got so bad that I could spin them around when the car was sitting. I finally removed them and made some out of 3/16 in plate and forced the rubber edge gasket deal over them. I haven't got the car back together to commment on how well these ones will hold up. I'm sure they'll do better then the crap that came with the kit.
