Gotboost? Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Today I received my KR owners supplement from Shelby. According to the manual you open the hood by turning the hood locks 1/4 turn clockwise, then go back and pull the hood latch (inside the car). Then you lift the hood and move the latch to fully open the hood. Does everyone's hood open this way? Mine does not. All I have to do is turn the hood locks 1/4 turn clockwise and then lift the hood as I move the underhood latch. My interior hood latch doesn't seem to function.........it pulls a spring on the hood latch mechanism, but does not release the hood at all.

Stephen Takach Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I have to move the underhood latch to open mine. Sounds like yours is either missing or broken. SVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gunslinger Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 David, My hood opens exactly as you've described from the KR owners supplement. Your interior hood release must be out of adjustment. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotboost? Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I just found an old post that describes the exact problem I am experiencing. The fix is to loosen the 2 bolts holding the latch and move it upwards about 2mm. Hopefully, that will solve it. Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotboost? Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I fixed it. I had to loosen 2 bolts and raise the latch approximately 1/8" to get it to catch the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
