Ronko 10 Posted August 29, 2011 hi all when i hi 80mph+ the driver side latch comes loose and i can see the bonnet flapping on that side SCAREY. the main release latch is ok and the small passenger side latch stays closed. Ive cleaned it all up and re-greased, its all nice and free. Im wondering if it needs a new latch anyoe else had this problem?? thanks Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted August 29, 2011 Whats the position of the rubber stop on the right corner? Screw it in a turn and see if the bonnet stays put. It could be preventing the latch in the slam panel fully locking home by keeping the bonnet edge high. If it doesn't work, screw the rubber stop right in. So it is guarenteed the latch has closed. If that works, unscrew the stop until the shut line is correct with the RH wing and check the corner has no free play to vibrate. You'll have to find the balance by adjustment. . .

Ronko 10 Posted August 29, 2011 yeah ive already had a play around with that but didn't seem to make a difference. it does lock in place when i shut it and i cant pull it up just when i go fast. ill give it another go though cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wullie 1 Posted August 29, 2011 Check the bonnet release cable is'nt too tightly adjusted and preventing the latches too fully close Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronko 10 Posted August 29, 2011 Cheers where abouts do you adjust it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted August 29, 2011 Cheers where abouts do you adjust it? Its behind the passenger headlight, just next to the rad. Though if it was too tight surely you'd have issues with both pins, worth checking though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
