just installed 3 piece grill delete kit

03StangGT · February 26th, 2008, 01:38 AM

just installed 3 piece grill delete kit and it looks awesome.but my hood takes a lil longer to close. instead of just letting it go i have to push it . any suggestions why?

thorpedo26 · February 26th, 2008, 01:40 AM

i normaly have to push mine down anyways

03StangGT · February 26th, 2008, 01:42 AM

oh i didnt have to before. so most likely not a problem?

Just an adjustment prob, if you removed the latching mec, see if you can line it up a little better.

06z28eaTer · February 26th, 2008, 03:35 AM

i didnt have to remove the latch mec when i did mine so i'm not sure, but i've always had to push mine down also to shut it, maybe just a precaution thing

03StangGT · February 26th, 2008, 04:32 PM

i didnt remove the latching mec. maybe ill get hood pins installed just in case

Blk01ponyGT · February 26th, 2008, 05:31 PM

yeah i had no problems like that when i installed mine man..idk

RanGer498 · February 26th, 2008, 07:14 PM

hammer it down...j/k

workinprogress · February 26th, 2008, 07:16 PM

+1 on adjustment problem, either the latch or if it seems like its just too hard to close it might be the bumpers...take a good look there are only 3 places to adjust it

Fryrice · February 26th, 2008, 07:16 PM

Is the new kit touching the striker not sitting flush ?

workinprogress · February 26th, 2008, 07:19 PM

good inquiry^^^

Fryrice · February 26th, 2008, 07:22 PM

Im just sure he could narrow it down to that area since it only started doing it after the install.

03StangGT · February 26th, 2008, 07:24 PM

it seems to be sitting flush. one side of the hood might be slightly sitting higher tho. it closes just not the same as before

workinprogress · February 26th, 2008, 07:25 PM

yeah adjust it at the latch....and then make it sit flat from by adjusting the bumpers

Fryrice · February 26th, 2008, 07:26 PM

^ yup

03StangGT · February 26th, 2008, 07:27 PM
