Betreff: [Healeys] Hood Latch<br class="">
Datum: 2021-12-25T22:05:38+0100<br class="">
Von: "R. Lindsay" <<a href="mailto:050.rpl@gmail.com" class="">050.rpl@gmail.com</a>><br class="">

I’ve been working on my engine compartment to install an aluminum radiator. In the process I removed the hood latch bracket.
<br class="">
<br class="">
After putting it back together the striker would not seat in the slider hood catch. So I messed around with the striker assembly and the hood latch bracket. I finally got the striker to catch but it will not uncatch. It is wedged in. I have tried to pull
the hood release hard while pushing on the hood; no release. <br class="">
<br class="">
Can anyone tell me how to go about releasing the striker? Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to all.
