hood only opens when it wants
99 4door xj----So I searched through the forum and didnt find what I wanted to hear.
My hood opens sometimes, but when it doesnt, I have to get someone to push down on each side of the hood to get it open. I want to fix this problem before I can't open the hood.
I greased everything up, and it did help a bit. i checked out my 98XJ and everything looked the same except for the passenger side "spring" was not sitting straight. I was wondering how I can fix this spring to see if that is my problem.
