My friend told me it was with a bunch of washers and I tried that. The hood wouldnt close after that even when adjusting the spring.


Does anyone know how too make it close also.

Really? Lol it seemed like I picked up 2MILLION washers last time.

I dunno kinda liking the look of it.
But if it dosnt look too good when it all is functioning then I can always take it off.

Besides looks, hoping you know why you are doing this.

As well, a lot of people I see doing this for ventilation usually aren't using stock hood closure locks.

Usually hood pins, zip ties, you name it.

I don't recommend doing this without hood pins. This + highway can = bad. If it doesn't close, loosen the bolts holding the latch, push the latch all the way up and then tighten the bolts.

Its fine actually. Just not lined up correct, which is why it looks like its a bit off.
