[T3] Stinking hood

[Robert Rogers]

I suspect you need to put a bit more tension on the cable so the bottom locking mechanism better holds (grabs) the upper lockpin.  Do this by shortening (pulling) the cable at the bottom mechanism.  You can also try adjusting the upper lockpin.  Screw the lockpin in (clockwise) just a bit to make the lid seal more tightly. Don't put hood pins in it--they are a pain to install and inconvenient.

>Hey all,
>I'm still fighting my hood latch popping on the purple notch back.  I've moved the latch around, checked the release for movement and still no joy.  So, do I need to shorten or lengthen the rod latch?  Adjust the rubber bumpers?  Any other thoughts?  I really don't want hood pins unless I have to.
