Re: Stuck Hood Latch 200 1982

The latch mecanism gets corroded after a while. I reached up between the grille and the radiator and gave it a few shots of weasel extract. The plastic pan fell off long ago, so access is easy. I lubricate the latch once in a while. With the hood open it is easy to remove the grille and get at it. If your daughter is near the dealers in the Portland or Brunswick areas, they may take pity on her and freebie it.
