While in the garage, the hood latch holds tight, get her on the road, hit a bump, the main latch gives way, letting the secondary latch keep the hood from making visibility an issue.
Any key points or tips on adjustment, everything looks good as far as the operating levers and springs go... i usually run into hoods that are hard to open... not this one

Well, okay, mine floats. Don't know if it's actually supposed to, but my hood works fine. No visibility problems to date, except when it rains and I'm going up a hill. But that's another issue.
