    Help!Hood won't close.

    Well my hood won't close....It has been doing this for a while it will latch enough so it won't come up when i'm driving, but it won't go all the way down. I can't figure it out...and there isn't anything sticking up too high cause I can push it all the way down it just won't lock. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Make sure there is nothing stuck in the gutters along the side of the car...
    also check to see if the lower bolt that holds the hood latch support to the frame is still there. It's only one bolt... you could probably see if it's missing if you look under your car... but it might be blocked by the plastic covers under there.

    worst case scenario, your hood relase cable could be siezed or broken somewhere along the line
