I left work tonight, got to 30mph and the hood flew open, spidered my windshield, bent the hinges and springs, and creased the hood in like 5 places!!! I got it latched halfway to drive it home but its horrible! Ive got a question. I have Force-placed insurance on the truck which the bank provided because the insurance for me right now on my own is too much, will they cover this issue? I dont know if its just for them if the truck is totalled or? This damage is bad ill have pics up tommorrow...answers?

 

GAH... what happened?? Didnt shut the hood?

Call your bank tomorrow and see what they say.

 

It was definitely shut tight, i just finished taking a coat of wax off the hood i wouldve noticed

 

It just flew open?
Holy Cow!!!

 

if it werent for the fact that you have an AFTERMARKET hood on there id say take it to the dealer, but....

 

Usually the ins. the lien holder will offer will have high deductables. It should be a comprehensive claim (?) so it might be less but could be as high-no higher than $1000

 

that sucks man! that happened to me on my corsica about 1 year ago except i was doing 70mph down the freeway! some bumn a$$ thought it would be funny to pull my hood pins and i didnt bother to look on my way in to work @ 6am

 

Think this could be pinned on the installer 1 1/2 years ago on the hood?...local speed shop put it on...

 

i doubt its actually his fault. probably some faulty latching mechanism from the factory

 

Damn all i know is it scared the S**t out of me and boy was i pissed when i saw the damage...i never thought anything like that could happen, but ive always wanted a different hood..........
