hood trouble
Hi, lately I have been trouble getting my hood open. Sometimes it will open up with no problem and other days i have to have someone else pull on it while I pull the lever. Do I need a new cable or something?

Re: hood trouble
does your hood stay up when its open? it could be the hood struts or the spring in the latch

Re: hood trouble
Are your rubber hood adjusters adjusted right? if not it will catch and you'll have to pull up on the hood while someone pulls the cable.
