Ok, I know it shouldn't be a problem but it is!! I've bought New Hood springs from the states, and from a reputable UK supplier, I've had second hand ones given and still the hood wont stay up on it's own!! Sure it's easy to lift but why wont it stay up? There's nothing added to it i'ts just a stock SS hood. Am I missing something? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks Russ. |

Normally they ping up quite easily especially if they are new. When you fit the springs are they quite hard to get on? |

Yes, theyre tight, pliers and pull carefully to ping on there as tight they are, hood is easy to lift but just wont stay up? |

My only thought is that the springs are not strong enough? |
