why does my hood pop in the rear

[jeremywrags]

hi all I recently installed a new front clip but now when I close my hood the back sticks up. does that mean that my hinges are bad. I have compared my hinges to others at the junk yard and they don't seem to be any more loose than mine. Or is the hood simply not alligned properly I have messed with it a ton and cannot seem to get it to sit right. Fyi this is on a 1975 k 5 blazer

thanks in advance

If it use to sit flat and proper before the front clip swap then I'd say its just an adjustment issue. But if it didn't before then I'd say its time for new hinges and springs.

if you can push it into position with your hand, it's the springs... if it's solid, it's the adjustment...

It could also be the hinges need a GOOD cleaning. I had a rig that this used to happen to and I finally yanked the hinges off and bead blasted them then washed them real good and threw a coat of paint and the hood opened/closed NIGHT AND DAY different (WAAAY EASY) and the rear did not stick up any longer.
