This talk of "creased bootlids" has made me think it is about time I fixed my poorly fitting bonnet (hood - thing that covers the engine). When I had cause to stop by the side of the road (as we all

I don't know if the support from a newer car would fit (don't know why it wouldn't) but if it would then this would solve your problem. They are made so that you have to push a button to lower them,

Thanks Art, I have seen gas struts advertised for the boot but do they make these for the bonnet, too? Not quite original equipment but it would at least stop the thing falling down (or UP) as the st

http://home.att.net/~eightup/ This web site advertises gas strut kits for both the trunk and the hood. I have bought both of these kits but have not put them on since my car is at the body shop. Eac

You don't say, but it sounds like you have an aluminum bonnet (it being so "light" and all). I would suspect that once stretched, there isn't anything you can do to force the metal back into its orig

Hi all, Many moons ago, I was told that the cause of B hoods flying open is the lack of those four little rubber bumpers on the fenders. The story was that without those little beasties, the hood can

Wow, that's very interesting, if true. Don't know about the status on my pal's old '65 (in the incident described below), but my car was missing all four and its hood was creased, so there's a corrob
