I keep a bungee cord in the trunk for this situation. I hook it from the center joint of the support arm to a point near the bonnet hinge, so the support arm can't fold up. Doug Braun '72 Spit /// sp

Sort of on the same subject, how about an easy way to just remove the whole thing? On the rare occasion I've opened the hood on my wifes car it would be nice to just lift off the entire clip. I took
