Front hood lifts at speed
Discussion
When driving at speeds of around 270km/h, the right rear corner of the front hood bangs up and stays up until I stop the car and re-do the fastening of the hood. The hook in the compartment does not feel as stiff on the right side than the left when I pull them up by hand. Any suggestions on how to adjust the right hook tighter..? Always freeks me out when this happens, the corner of the hood popping open at almost 170mph. Anyone else have this problem..?
Never has happened to me. Well at least the window trim pieces did not rip off at that speed. Are the hood lines clean? What I mean is the gaps spaces even all the way around bonnet in relationship to the both quarter section, nose and light pods. Sometimes the hood gets a little diagonal then the latches do not have the same depth of hold. If the bonnet is a bit loose, gently pull or push it in to place then open and snug up the fastners. Do not over tighten the fastners. Sometimes they get out of square by repeated lifting by one corner of the bonnet, try to start lifting the bonnet more to the middle.
