Judging by Derick's need to replace the hood AND the windshield on the 82 he is getting, I guess this hook isn't very effective :) K - -- Kevin Pekarek Redwood City, CA (near San Francisco) and Los Osos, CA (near San Luis Obispo) 85 190D (601, 5spd) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2003 16:09:01 -0700 From: Kevin Pekarek Subject: Re: Re[2]: Subject prefix..?

MB already put TWO hood catches on the front, it takes an extra effort for those BOTH to fail and cause the hood to flip up... a rare event indeed. john >--> >-->K >--> >-->-- >-->Kevin Pekarek >-->Redwood City, CA (near San Francisco) and >-->Los Osos, CA (near San Luis Obispo) >-->85 190D (601, 5spd) >--> ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://wagoneers.com ** ** http://freegift.net ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold.
