problem with the hood?
i popped the hood for the first time today and idk but for some reason it just wont latch shut idk wat its problem is and i tried playin around with it but i got no results. has anyone had a problem like this or at least heard of sumthin like this?
|
Yeah, you've got to drop it from about 10 inches up for it to latch. It's painful to listen to, but it's the only way.
|
wow looks my my stang isnt the only one that is a bitch to latch...gotta drop it pretty good to get it to shut right.

Mine latches like shiit too. I thought it was just me...
:mad: |
yup...me too....they have it so it barely opens
|
Personally, the mustang hoods SUCK. Does anyone know of a latch or something that was made for us to help with the ease of closing the hood?
|
Wow. It may sound funny but I'm at ease to know that they're all like that. Everytime I drop the hood I just wait for the fiberglass front end to fall with it.
|
I have the same issue I enlarged the holes so I could move the latch closer to the hood. http://mysite.verizon.net/txsnakecharmer/2kr.htm
|
i have the same problem but i figure drop it from up high and if something breaks its a perfect excuse to upgrade to a better hood or w/e.
|
oh wow thanks that really sucks i tried droppin it like a normal hood but it just sounded like **** and would shut i didnt think to drop it from higher up i didnt want to
|
on the latch portion, loosen the holding bolts and pull the hole latching system mech. up. re-tighten and you should be good to go
|
Do what I did.Remove the hood latch and install hood pin's :)
|
yeah ya know i was actually thinking about doin that cause i realy like the way they look did you install them yourself and if so are they hard to install?

No way did I do it.Cutting into a $700 dollar hood is not my idea of fun.

I find it shuts better if you kinda move the locking mechanism around before shutting it...kinda set the hood on it without latching and then move it up and down a bit...then it should shut a lil easier
|
That kinda sounds too close to foreplay.....:shifty:
Im waiting for my headlights to explode when I drop it someday...... |
Put some oil on the latch mechanism on the core support trust me it works...My sisters 98, my 01, and her current GT all have had this problem put a little oil on it never ran into it again.....:punk: try it out you dont need a lot just a dab or so....:clap:
