Hood/Fender Bumpers question

I am not sure which is the right way to install the 6 bumpers, is picture #1 correct or is picture #2 correct. This car didn't have them installed, so nothing to go on and once they are in it looks like they aren't coming back out easily. Thanks for the help in advance!!

The tapered end goes up. It's intended to be a lead-in guide so the hood closes properly. Square end up will prevent the hood from closing all the way.

Thanks, Joe, sorta thought that, but just wanted to make sure. Looks like when they are in, it would be a bear to get them back out!!

Yeah, you have to squeeze both sides of the rubber "barb" to fit it back through the hole. I've done this with a large flat blade screwdriver, one side at a time.
