ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a self-adjusting stopper for dampening movable parts, in particular for lids, hoods or the like in automotive vehicles, and comprises a stop element, a casing, a clamping element and a coupling element in cooperative relationship. Initially the stop element projects a maximum distance out of the casing. By closing the part which has to be dampened, for example the hood of an automotive vehicle, the stop element becomes displaced into the casing. After opening the lid, the clamping element is locked to the stop element by rotating the coupling element to axially adjust the stop element within the casing. A further adjustment is not required. According to the invention, the stop element will be automatically adjusted in a proper axial position by just closing and opening the lid.
