| Description of the problem | While driving at highway speeds (70 mph) i encountered some strong cross winds causing a lifting action of the hood. The lifting action of the hood (about 1/2") gave me enough concern to slow down until the lifting action stopped. It appears that the hood latches on either side of the hood, being made of rubber, are not strong enough to prevent the hood from lifting. The center release did not hold the center down, allowing for the movement. |
