thanks for the info. with the hood up the latch works fine. the drivers side latch, not on hood ,looked like it moved so i moved it where i thought it should be. it worked easier. i sprayed everything with pb blaster. going to use some cold temperature lithium based grease. its called ' lubriplate aero'. iso 9001. i wonder why they didn't use 6 or even ten more latches. i could have them across the whole front end.
He!! I think two is overkill... they only needed one.. ,, but a jeep hood really locks down nice and tight though.
Don't mind jt he like things tight, but who dosen't right? :D
