James21 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 So i finally got my glanza front end on my n/a but the bonnet wont lock into to the bonnet catch... I know the fitments are slightly different but is there an easy fix for this? I dont really want to put bonnet pins in...Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James21 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Anyone? Keep thinking bonnets gunna fly open when im driving lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It probably will if it isn't locked in, check it lines up, if not is there no way you can move the catch slightly? Or weld the piece that goes in on the bonnet so it's in the right place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James21 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Yeh it lines up properly... I was gunna cover it in wd40 and see if it was the mechanism.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 to be honest the frame work under the bonnet latch is made of mild cheddar and if its not perfectly tight/or has had a hard life with people needlessly slamming from quite high up it will move the whole lot down and make it not work. have a look and see how all the structure underneath looks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James21 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Mild cheddar lol yeh it looks to be that mate, the frame the latch is on is bent... Ive sorted it now, bent it back straight as much as i could, doused it in wd40 and slammed it and its in... Scratched my headlight tho :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 dont slam ure bonnet u silly man.thats what does it.lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James21 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Id rather slam it and lock it then not slam in and it lift and smash my full front end... I shall need to go to scrappy and buy a perfect mounting bar... Its always like this int it, do one thing to improve ye car and then 5 other things pop up whilst your doing it... Stressing me out!!!!
