LMAO, So My Hood is Stuck Shut

[Fuzz420]

All i was trying to do was check the oil. So i had to ditch that idea until somebody else comes home and then i am going to try to have them hold the latch while i attend to the hood. What makes me mad is i was excited to pop the hood because i just got new hood struts. Now i cant get it up :3d_frown: :rofl:

At least you're stoned enough that it doesn't bother you one bit

LOL, Aaron...What the hell, man.

:rofl:!!!!!

You can keep that tri-pod, BTW. I'm just going to buy another one...I get them for like $11.

Explain though, exactly WHY your hood is stuck shut. I'd like to hear this one. Please tell me there's some sort of story behind it.... :x:

Good deal now i can take the tri-pod out of my car for supreme weight savings:naughty:

I dont know why its stuck, my guess is being opened 3 times a week for 17 years i believe the car has had enough

Mine does that, I stand by my left fender, reach in the window and pull the latch while i yank the hood by the corner of the headlight?

Ok this is what I do cause im stuck in the same boat as u. Make a fist turn it sideways like yur gunna hit a buzzer for a gameshow, then hit yur hood in the middle where it feels as it is hollow. If thaT doesnt work spray WD40 on the hook then try step one agian.

replace the hood struts...

properly lube the latch?

Orr...you can just forget to latch your hood completely even though it looks latched, go test/tune your car 15 minutes before leaving for the Ohio Supra meet, and while driving 60mph down a road, let it fly up on you, crack your windshield, dent your roof and bend your hood in half so that you don't/won't/DIDN'T get to drive to Ohio.......:nono:

***I hate talking about that....**** :cry:

Hood struts are brand spanking new
So wd-40 for me

[Poodles]

adjust/replace the bumpers for the hood as well...

 

[foreverpsycotic]

Now i cant get it up

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

this happened to an evo last night, we had to take out the front grills and hit the latch from the inside.

Mod the hood to open like the old Z.

 

[Fuzz420]

it only took me 24 hours but i got it open.

"You don't need no stinking hood"

Good job and getting it open, now don't close it. lol

 

[annoyingrob]

When I was doing some IC work up front, I took out the latch. When I put it back in, I ALMOST forgot to hook the cable back up. That would have sucked.....

Pull the hood release while driving slowly on a bumpy road
(if you can't find a friend)

I bet those washboard roads down there do just the trick!
