Greetings, I took my 94 coupe to Discount Tires about 3 weeks ago. Had a new set of Nittos put on. Car has the factory wheels. When they did the job, they wanted to remove the targa top, pop the rear hatch, hood, and doors. I allowed them to do all except remove the targa roof.
I told them that to me, it would seem that a person should leave all the doors shut, the hatch closed and the hood down when jacking the car. They strongly disagreed with me and "...told me to read the corvette forums that are on the Internet." Well, now I have a real problem getting my hood open.
Should I have made them leave the doors, hatch and hood closed?
Second question is: Is there an adjustment to/for the hood which will allow it to open better now? I have to pull the lever under the dash about 10 times to get it to open...it's very frustrating.
I have to pull the lever, then try lifting the hood. Hood won't open. I then have to repeat that process. I have greased the latches and springs. Everything moves freely and the hood latches look like they release all the way.
