hood locker

[Firebass]

yo guys i dont know if i say the correct word , i used to let my hood fall down and it was totally closing now it doesnt close i have to press it with my hands i checked and the device doesnt open well 1 small iron piece , but if i press it with my hands it opens can it be fixed or should i take new one ?

Ow mate .. I think u broke the lock from racing the hood to fall down and lock..
Thats not the way. While closing u have to gentely put it down and then pushing it down to click.
You cant throw the hood to lick by itself,

Try to use w40 if its not broken and then use grease ,
Hope it works out... Maybe it didnt break, maybe the lock is bent..

Anyway gd luck.

when u close the hood the hook must go inside a small hole that is on the hood , my hook was going forward, so i took a pipe locker and i made an angle on the hook and now its ok
