lostissues Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I changed hoods on my truck with my parts truck, the one on my good one was dented in where the hinges attached and that in turn killed my cowl. so i changed the hoods, and the new hood latches don't work correctly, one doesnt close and the other doesnt open. can i swap just the corner latches out? or are the attached perminatly?

Pete M Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Latches are bolted on. Torx screw I think. :hmm: Haven't looked at them in a while, but I've removed them from my 88 and 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildman Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 When your remove the latches, you'll find some shims there, you might need to add / remove a shim or two to get the hood to latch, that could be your problem. Also check the alignment to the fenders and front header panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
