Well, sorry to hear about that. I guess a look on the bright side is you can get a new cowl hood now!

HC, if the new hood has a steel latch like the stock hood you should be okay without pins, it's when the hood has plastic or fiberglass latch area that it rips through and smacks ur windshield.

sweet, the latches are all steel OEM quality, guess i'm in the clear.

Should be fine, dont hold me to it though

RE: My hood folded back onto my windshield ;(

well...i guess I don't feel so bad ....because that SAME thing happened to me ...only I forgot to put in my hood pins....fiberglass cervinis hood....RIPPED at the latches and broke my cowl....flew off into the side of the road....lol I pulled over and RAN towards the hood....through the hood back on the car and on the pins they go....

now my problem is that the hood is no longer attached to the hood latches (might be useful)...

it sucks man...I just have to replace the hood now
