I remember reading somewhere that once you adjust the latch you have to press firmly to shut it , no more droping the hood shut.

good luck! I will try to see if I can find more on the issue

thanks guys,

i have tried to push down on the hood with firm force but no luck. and the spoon one i got mike is the non cut version, thats why i am wondering if im missing some step on making this fit properly. the fit looks snug and perfect with no gaps anywhere at all.

hey ap2autox, your hood has the buldge for the indentation though ya?

^thanks man, ill keep that in mind after i figure out what i want to do with it. i have been considering gutting the whole hood anyways so now might be a good time. but the snorkel is just temporary until i figure out what i want to do so not sure if its worth it yet. anyone else?!?!
