i recently bought a top hood latch at a junkyard in chandler az n screwed it rite on. it was off a 88 - 91 civic coupe.. i figured it would work cuz they have the same frnt end??. well it fit n closed perfectly but wen i tried openin the hood bak up it got stuck on the bottom hood latch.. i looked at the top latch n noticed it stuck out a lil further than i thought n i had a bitch of a time tryna get it up n ended up bendin the bottom latch tryna get it off... should it hav got stuck like that? or did i f up n do sumthin wrong?? sum hit me up wit sum info.. arit thnx.. peace!

 

do you mean a 4 door?

or a CRX

since there was no EF coupe, only the four door sedan, CRX coupe/ hatch, hatchback, and wagon

 

yeah mybad i meant the 88-91 4door civic

 

they should be the same latch top and bottom. try spraying some WD-40 on the bottom latch

 

jig a loo
