Hood popping up
« on: March 28, 2012, 10:40:24 am »
Any idea how to fix my hood and keep it from popping up? its lubed well and the hinges are in good shape. i did recently have it buckle on the other side which warped it a little but ive braced that.

Ha Ha, I've dealt with the same thing !!

The consensus is that you either have loose rivets in the hood hinges and or weak springs.

On mine, I did have a few loose hinge rivets that I have since tightened up, but have not had my project truck back on the road enough to hit bumps to see if it comes back up again.

Is there a good place to order them offline and I checked the rivets and they are a bit loose.
