Introduction

Your hood stays closed while driving thanks to two latches. One of the latches is activated by a lever inside your car, and the other is activated by pulling a lever on the front of your hood. Both latches must be activated in order to open the hood.

Pneumatic braces are used to hold your hood open while you work on your engine. These braces are only effective for a certain range of motion and are designed to only hold the weight of your hood. Proper use insures your safety.
