Went in and really oiled everything I could find. Now the hood pops open w=
ith gusto!! So if you haven't oiled that mechanism in the last decade or s=

special thanks for barney gaylord and his mgaguru website. i installed the=
grill with the three "studs" instead of bolts on the top. yesterday the h=
ood release failed to hood release. 3 bolts out of the bottom of the grill=
(which were metric - obviously a moss motors grill), and the grill came ou=
t. a little finagling and the hood popped open. whew!!!!!
now - the question is what happened and how do i prevent the hood release f=
rom not working in the future.
