hood lifting up at highway speeds?

Unknown

drove down to Paso Robles this last weekend,no problems except one.

it was pretty windy on the way back,and the back edge of the hood kept lifting up,sometimes as much as an inch it seemed.

never been a problem before,i drive on the highway around 65-70 mph usually,but i was down to 40-45 on occasion.

are my hinges just worn?

or do i need new springs?

Both, check the pins in the hinges. The most likely culprit is the springs though. How was Paso? Since I moved to Utah this last fall, it would be the first time I've missed it in several years...bummer.

This is which year? Is the hinge at front or rear?
