Any more info? I've just bought a mk2 172 and it'd be a shame to get a big repair on a mint car.

Having just had my carbon bonnet smack the screen of my 200SX (emergency roadside car repair in high winds) I don't want to repeat the experience with a heavy steel one... when moving...

Thinking about it, when pulling the bonnet release lever there seems to be not much effort to it, and no real de-latching action. Is this normal or should I be worried?
