Message	It's sooo nice to open the hood all the way back over the windshield. Super easy access. To do it like I did, go to the gas station and position your car juuuuust right, then let a gust of wind take your hood and slam it against your windshield. Easy peasy. If you look at both of your hinges, there are two metal clips that prevent the hood from rolling over. You can bend these clips with great effort, and then you'll be good to go. Caveat1.0: It *may* bend the corner of your hood a smidge, almost not noticable at 2 feet away. My very slight almost unnoticable bend may be the result of the initial wind gust. Caveat2.0: It may slightly marr your hood vent cowls, as that's what the hood is ultimately resting on. Petz #3
