so i finally found the problem thanks to my father we had come to the conclusion that the hook was to low to grab the hood so we looked and found this, so we took it off and i guess "re-straightend"(stepped on it) it and that made it close a whole lot easier ! but that was temporary fix, would any one know where to buy a replacement ? or should i just re straighten it better ? its located right under the latch, you cant miss it ( not shown in picture)
Uh, looks the the tubular brace for the hood latch actually. I've got one kicking around too you can have.
prop rod my ass that is the bar that goes from the hood latch to the core support. Its supposed to be bent
coool i would like to take it off your hands if your sure you don't need it i would just have to ask first
