Derek, the front and rear bumpers are positioned the same, the top edge should slope down at the ends. I would post an image, but it's too much trouble and i have given up trying.

As this fix may cause unwanted consequences, I have a compromise solution to offer...
Do as advised above, but also, drill a 1/8" hole in the center of each penny.

Or any Pre 1983 penny. Does not have to be a Wheat Penny, just copper. Copper was discontinued as the principal metal in pennies in 1983. So a 1982 or older will do nicely.
