The catch on the drivers side is becoming really awkward to close - it isn’t locking onto the windscreen frame very tightly (the hood can now be moved around a bit when closed on that side) and the release button is very very tight and will suddenly open only with a really hard press (taking the top off my finger also).
Is there any way I can adjust it - it feels like it needs to be moved backwards away from the screen frame.
thanks
James
Sounds like the reciever plates that the hood catches latch into have moved. They are held on with 2 screws that can be loosened so that the plates can be adjusted. In the photo they are at the top right and top left of the windscreen. Give that a go.
There is adjustment on the catches that are fastened to the Hood
Check the plastic piece that goes on the catch hasn’t broken
Thanks, I’ll check those plastic things, although I don’t recall ever seeing any on the car…
