[T3] Stinking hood

[Dave Hall]

Try making things a bit looser - longer pin, screw in the rubber bumpers.

Then check if it latches properly.

I'm guessing the 'claw' doesn't move far enough to engage the pin fully.

It's probably something best done with the spare wheel and the well removed
so you can get a look and have a chance of unlatching it if it jams!

Once it works, you can adjust things to stop it rattling.

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.

Thanks!
