Title: Cant shut the bonnet
Post by MarkFRST on Dec 18^th, 2005, 8:34pm

Havent shut the scorpio bonnet in a while as its been off the road and when i came to do it - it wont go down >:(
the catch is stiff, i had to help the catch go back (the bit that moves when u pull the lever) but even after putting it back it wont shut still :-[
