Hey yall, i just joined this forum and now im seeking some assistance....I have a 2005 civic Coupe. the person before me jacked up the rad support and bent it.......ugh... now the hood is 1-2 inches above the fender line i jumped on the top of the support like a couple people on here suggested and it helped a little then i realized that my latch was slid up so i slid it down all the way and the hood wouldn't catch it. just would go into the safety latch. i kept slowly moving it up and it would not catch than when it finally did. it was just like before
any suggestions?
