jfischetti Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Opened my hood to dry underneath the lip and panel gaps after washing it this weekend and the the hood would not close. Literally tried 20 times. Finally got it to close. Drove and parked it and 20 mins later got an app Alarm alert that the hood had been opened. Figured that was another false app alert - turns out the hood popped itself while parked. WTF!?? Still can't close it again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Did you try pumping the handle twice to see if that resets the mechanism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Also tried pulling the handle once it's 1/2 latched - it just releases it (figured it might crank it down tight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92merc Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Makes me wonder if there are bump stops on the hood. The hood may be pressing up against those a bit too hard preventing a full latch. I haven't personally looked at any of these hoods. So its just a SWAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfischetti Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 There are bump stops. I'll try to screw them down a bit to see it lets the hood drop just enough to close. Thanks for the recommendation.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did screw down the bump stops and still had to slam down the hood, but got it to close. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
