Roy, Mike M, other C-1 Gurus?
When driving the car, the hood latches sometimes allow the hood pins to slide up and the hood raises up some in the back. I have cleaned the latch receivers and the hood pins . The design seems to be a smooth pin that is retained by a sharp angled, spring loaded, receiver plate. I think I read something on this board previously about serrated pins on some years - not sure? Is there a solution to this problem? Stronger springs? Sharpening the latch edge? Others must have faced this problem before.
Thanks in advance.
