Swapped hood...now mine won't close

**Chris_tA_4** · 01-13-2009 08:12 PM

So I swapped my carbon fiber hood for an OEM hood with a local and the hood that I got will not close. The hood latch is not bent or anything. When I close the hood it doesn't catch and just comes up. Any ideas?

ride it with no hood youll get direct air to your intake, fall in love with the extra power and ride around town like this

yeah - you shouldn't have let them drive off without making sure you were straight!

Does the hood look like it's lining up properly? Does it seem more like a cable/latch issue, or an alignment issue?

I swapped with ILIKEBIGBRAKES. I fixed it tho guys! I'm so proud of myself right now. Turned out that the lock was to low so I unscrewed it and moved it up like 4mm. How it even moved down is beyond me.
