The panel gaps in the photo with the hood closed look off. Something is either damaged or not OEM.
I did get a good chuckle over how long it took for the magnet idea to come up. |

Still, the hood seems like it sits high enough that the strut should hold the hood in the high position at least. There is less leverage (torque) for gravity to have an effect on the struts the higher up the hood is propped.

Now we have to wait a month for the next episode of "The case of the purple hood"?
This is as bad as "Better call Saul". |

Everyone gave up but I am still waiting 😁
Did anyone, by chance, figured out what the issue was? Maybe Grimmspeed since he was working with them. Was really exciting to read this thread. |

I am aware of it but a lot of people posting in this thread are still active on the forum.
Was just curious if someone heard anything about it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
