Ok so my hood has issues...on the passenger side at the hinge one of the metal pieces that, apparently, holds the hood back on the rear of the engine compartment is broken and the hood leaps out at me when i open it. Do i need a new hinge or a whole new hood? Also it wont latch shut like it sits just where it will raise like maybe an inch but then it wont open completely either. help please

 

Do you have pics of it? It would help alot.

 

sorry my camera died on me a couple times so i had to wait till this morning. the link has 5 pics of the hood and the hinges the broken one is on the passenger side and the good one is on the drivers side aslo you can see the clearance i was talking about where the hood is supposed to latch down.

Know anyone that does welding? Looks like it may be possible to fix it that way. I could be wrong though...

 

I can't tell from the pics if the hood itself is damaged or not. If it's not, just get a hinge from a JY near you. And for the hood latch, you should call the dealer, because there is a recall for it. Fix the hinge first though.
