Hood Problem
MY first post 
Just bought a 1999 V6 Convertible and the hood doesn't seem to close properly. It's kinda dark in my underground parking and because of that I was not able to solve the problem earlier, so I found no harm in posting here. Is this a common problem, or is there something special I need to do besides letting it drop from about 12 inches and letting gravity do its thing?
Thanks.

RE: Hood Problem
If I can't get it to close tomorrow I'll take it back and pick up a Sprint convertible or something.
Just kidding.
According to Consumer Reports, 1999 is a good reliable model year for Mustangs. I was thinking reliability as criteria #1, convertible #1A, performance #2. Just getting my feet wet in the Mustang world. Sure is a sweet looking car... Can anyone run down any common problems that I should look out for? Actually scratch that, I'll do a search on the forum first
