When running the car hard (like at a track event) whenever I put the hood up after a run (to let stuff cool down) the hood alignment gets funky.....hard to close.

I can leave the hood up for a week when its cold and no problem, but when its hot just a few minutes will make it really hard to line up for a closing.

Is this unique to my springs or do others have the same issue?:dunno:

The only time I've had a hood problem was at the GA-VCA Christmas party last year. Had the hood opened for maybe 2-3 hours? When we went to leave, I "tucked" both upper edges down (near the doors) like I always do and went to shut the hood as normal. The RH upper edge of the hood popped up 3 different times when I tried shutting the hood?? Another GA-VCA member got it shut and never had the problem again. Still dont know why it acted stupid then.
