Chosen Solution
I rear ended someone a couple weeks ago and i got a new hood for my 1990 honda accord but my hood wont shut flush. I looked at my hood latch and it is bent inward, is there anyway i can fix it myself, if so, how?
diego tamesis , If you are talking about the hood latch on top of rad support they can be bent out fairly easy. Tie a rope/chain/cable around the area of the latch/cradle and the other end wraps around a 2x4, put a rag between 2x4 and bumper, now use the 2x4 to pry the hood latch/cradle into correct position. May have to fine tune with a heavy hammer and board. Ifyou are not removing any thing such as radiator,A/C condenser,etc. take your time and be careful as you do not to damage other parts. See the link below, same idea, just not as drastic. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr4grivK…
