Re: [DML] The front hood



This was the case on my car until I readjusted the hood latch. I always had
problems with water getting in the trunk especially after washing the car.
Any water running down the windshield went into the trunk. I tested the
gasket with a dollar bill and found that there was plenty of room for the
bill to slip through. I then noticed that the gasket was glued in the wrong
place (too far out), so I pulled it off and glued it back on. It was
falling off anyway. I believe it was put on this way from the factory. But
this still didn't fix the problem. With the gasket in the right place the
hood still wouldn't grab a dollar bill. I tried adjusting the catch down,
but it wouldn't go down far enough. I took it apart, filed the adjustment
slots to go down further and this FINALLY fixed the problem. Now I
understand that this is a common problem, but easily fixable.

P.S. If we met in person, would you introduce yourself as "Darkstar"? It's
okay to use a real name here.
