I was wondering if there is supposed to be some sort of return spring on the catch on the hood. The latch on my hood does not have one, but on the other hand I cannot see where it would attach. If anyone can let me know or send a picture that would be great.
Thanks,
Mike

Mike, There is a spring. I can't get a picture of it as I can not see it. It is up in the pivot area of the catch. All I can see is the end of it setting on top of the catch. I think it is a piece of spring wire with a loop at the hinge and one end is sitting on top of the catch and the other end is probably up agains another area holding tension on the catch. Sorry, I know my explantion is clear as mud.
