    my hood wont lock. the hood closes but the locking mechanism wont click. the hood will close up to only the release lever after you pop the popper after that it wont click into place theres a hug gap above the passenger headlight. last major thing i did to the car was correct my upper mounts on the coiloevers which required to remove the strut bar and reinstall it. it closed right after all that was done. but last night it didnt. i removed the strut bar but it still wouldnt lock. so i put it back on. what can I do?? need help asap!!!

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    Did it recently get real cold where u are? Mine did the same thing when winter hit, some days it'd lock and some days it'd stick.

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.
