if you dont latch it allthe way , yu might find yourself needing a new windshield and hood while going down the road

yep...mines a little hard to shut/latch also
I just never latch it all the way...that way it's easier to open the hood when someone wants to see in the engine bay

I know, that was actually an attempt at sarcasm...didn't go over too well I guess.

Gotta have that finess with the palm push though. Last thing you want is a palm DENT you can't wipe off!![sm=oopssign.gif] Soft aluminum hood=easy to dent.

RE: Hood Won't Latch
Letting the hood slam down ensures that the hood has contacted the rubber stops and that there is enough backpressure against the latch to keep it closed and the leading edge tight. I think you are asking for trouble if you mess with the rigging. If you are in doubt, take it to Ford.
