i have a 92 s model of the lude
My hood wont lock down to the hood latch
this is my second hood latch but i got it from a junk yard it seems fine
brand new oem hood

I dont want anything to happen to my motor can anyone help?

 

does it not even line up with the latch?

 

it lines up with it but it doesnt go in far enough to lock i guess

 

the latch is mounted with three bolts. loosen them up and move the latch up a little bit. then it should engage.

 

i'll try that tomorrow, thank you very much.

 

Huh, I suffer from the same thing. Just the 3 bolts and it goes up and lines back up? Is it from closing the hood to hard I wonder? I thought it was front/back alignment.

 

you will have to play with it to get it lined up perfectly. you should never let the hood slam shut. just set it down and push it closed.

 

Got it to lock

thank you bluedlude

 

i had the same problem till i wrap the hook that goes into the latch with electrical tape

fixed the problem quite well really
