wrongumundo ROFL

 

Slap me and call me a monkey. I don't even use weather strip.

 

ok the p.o.s wont close, i put the weather strip on top, nothing, do you think its the hood latch if so, how do i go about adjusting it

 

just loosen 3 or 4 bolts so you can move the latch to profer height .... make sure the 2 rubber bump stop are not stopping the hood then adjust it properly so your hood doesnt vibrate ...

 

There's a couple 10mm bolts that hold the latch on.. and the holes are slotted.

 

thank you ill let you know

 

adjusted the latch, put the plate on top of the weather strip and the hood closed on the first try, thanks again, greatly appreciated
