HAS ANYONE HAD A PROBLEM W/ THEIR HOOD PROP???
i have a 92 hatch and the hood prop is on the drivers side of the hood (as most people know) i left the hood up for a day or so and when i shut the hood it seemes like the hood prop bent my hood up about 1/4 of an inch! i can fit my pinky finger in the gap! i tried to take the hood off and fix the bracket but it didn't do anything!

that happens to my cf hood if i leave it propped up on the position that makes the hood lower. If I leave it in the position where the hood is almost vertical, it is ok.

I took the hood off of the hinge and it looked fine but as soon as i put it back on the gap was there again. And i have no clue where the SPRING is???

That sux!!! DaMn iT you think that honda would have thought about that when they came up with the idea! The probably assumed that since hondas are so reliable that we would never be under the hood in the first place LOL!
