that spring is 55.2 only and may not even have been added the full year, GM dropped it for 56, likely to save a few cents, because it doesn't really help anything, and if you don't get the hood latched tight or if things are worn, the hood might pop up enough to be caught by the wind - they may have had warranty calls over that .... all it does is pop the hood up a finger width if it's working, and you'll still have to hold the latch with one hand until you lift with the other enough to clear the safety catch .... as a 1 year only item you'll have a hard time finding one, learn to do without, it's not hard

Mine didn't have the spring. The method Bill (not me) describes to open it works great.
