Hood won't stay up
 
This can be annoying as the hood can't seem to stay in open position.

What adjustments can I do?

Also has anyone experienced when you lift the hood, little plastic like pellets or beeds fall from the hood, assuming from the insulation.

anomaly117 Feb 25, 2012 01:55 PM
a good adjustment is buying new hood struts.

holymoly Feb 25, 2012 02:00 PM

In the morning when I wake up, I go into the kitchen to make coffee. My cats sit by their food bowl and constantly meow at me for some reason. Why is this?

mine are 11 years old, original struts, just starting to soften up, but they still do the trick.

AznRyan Feb 25, 2012 06:06 PM
Mine are at least 16 years old. Any younger and you risk jailtime.

AznRyan Feb 25, 2012 06:06 PM

No mang, they're all soft and worn out, like a 90 year old dude's... you know...

Just go buy some new ones and install them. Have a friend help you if you've never done it before. Buy a 12 pack of beer and throw some steaks on the grill for having your more mechanically inclined friend helping you out.
