My wife was taking my truck to work so I had checked the fluids and what-not, but forgot to close the hood. Well needless to say it popped up on her. She was only going about 30mph. It didn't break the windshield, but I can't close it now. It's still sticking almost straight up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Happened to me before. Look at the springs on each side. There should be a flat catch that keeps it from opening too far. The force of the wind made it go past that catch. Get a pry bar and force it back down. You will probably have to do some tweaking to get the hood to sit right again.

That did the trick. Just wanted to get second opinion before I ripped into it with my crowbar.
