Damn Hood!
Ok, this just started in the last couple of days...but everytime I close my hood, it doesn't sit tight like it did...everything seems to be lining up properly....and when I push down on the hood, it wiggles a bit...plus, when you open the hood using the lever, it doesn't feel as tight as it did before...this happen to anyone???

i just read that in a post, you might have to go to your dealer and have them replace your hood latch, or diy. Thats all I can think of. I recently replaced my right side fender and after almost 2 hours of tightening and loosening, i just couldnt get the fender to line up perfectly so I gave up and its not too bad. Check your hood latch cable, and make sure its tight.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 331 try taking off your bumper and looking around for anything that may be in the way of the hood, its easier to locate a problem that way. or, go with your original idea and let honda deal with it.

Rep Power: 0 I had the same problem and I couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong.... It turns out someone left a screwdriver and it was just keeping it up on the upper left side.. 
It was the idiot who installed my underbody neons. So yeah, check for a screwdriver here or there.
