My hood latch broke.......

[jeepguy]

I have been having trouble getting my hood to latch properly when I shut it. I kept having to fidle with the T handle by the drivers left knee. Last nite I changed the tranny fluid, and was having a heck of a time getting the hood to shut completely. I kept pulling and pushing the T handle trying to get it to work. Anyway, the whole T handle came out in my hand! I now have no ability to get the hood to shut flush. (97 XJ) How do I fix it? More realistically, does anyone know a good place that is close to North Andover Ma. that I can take it too?

Thank you for any advice.

Oh by the way, does anyone else have trouble getting on to this forum? I can always get on the site, and have no trouble getting into any other section, but when it comes to the forums, its really touch and go.

Proboards sucks!! It's as simple as that.

you can take the headlight out to get to the hood latch, open it and then replace the handle....xjs are a real biatch if you dont open the hood regularly and lube it up

take the hood latch out all together and put in some hood pins.

Use a ratchet strap around the whole front end.

And we are working on a new forum as you type.
