Love these !! Here is my mechanic advice for the day . Tighten it loosely , just barely enough to hold the hood up. Tie some long bright cord on to it , so you know it is on there, and make mental note .
My employee folded a hood at the end of the hood hinges, becacuse he forgot to remove it and was in a hurry and slammed the hood
I almost bent one up , because I closed the hood, and the clamp thingy was loose and let the hood slide down. I notice some resistance before I slammed the hood closed and saved my bacon, otherwise, Id have been buying a hood .
The snap on ones, come with a long red neon cord thingy .
