If the latch is moved slightly forward, it will pop loose on its own, without releasing the locking tab. Action here: https://youtu.be/MKP1dKFxbPA Is this a known issue that can be fixed? The actual latch mechanism looks like it's riveted together. I'm not sure how to stop worrying about my hood popping up on the freeway short of getting hood pins. 1967 Dodge Coronet Deluxe station wagon 1.03" T-bars, QA1 arms/rods, Cordoba/GM Metric/Volare brake & knuckle, XHDs, Hellwig rear sway, 318 Magnum w/ air gap, 727, 3.23s
