You have to adjust the Hood latch until it is lined up properly. Also what brand name is the hood?

No CF hood will fit perfect so you'll have to readjust everything until its all lined up. Also try shutting it by placing your hands above the Latch and press down with a nice hard motion.

i'm not sure, i'll take a look because it has the name brand underneath the hood. also, the hood props aren't cut out so i guess i'll just have to drill them out and also there aren't any nozzle holes. i don't know if that is standard on a cf hood. let me know though. i'm going to try to adjust the latch today.

i would rather not have nozzle holes, looks better. but you can always drill just be careful the cf is very weak and can just crack.

yeah.. be careful with them suckers.. dont go slammin the hell out of it tryin to get it to latch.. if it does not latch the first time adjust it again and again till it does..

also dont drill the nozzle holes.. either go without or do a lil custom work and get them mounted to the wipers...

i dont even remember the last time i used my sprayers... its been over 2 years.. just keep your car half clean and dont tailgate
