[DML] Re: Hood won't pop up



Gotta interject here.  I bought that spring and it worked maybe 1 or 
2 times before it relaxed and no longer did the job.  Do yourself a 
favor and go to a hardware store and get a nice big thick one.  If 
you almost have to break your arm to put it on the latch, you know 
you've got the right kind :)  My hood pops open with so much force 
that I reckon with a couple more adjustments I'll be able to get it 
to open FULLY just by pulling the lever :)
