In the last couple of weeks the bonnet has become hard to close, as in it is difficult to get the catch to engage. The bonnet now needs a really good slam to close it, which wasn't previously the case. Having heard of people having bonnets flip up on them etc, I'm a bit wary and want to make sure that it doesn't happen, and nip the problem in the bud.

I've tried spraying the catch mechanism with WD40 but it doesn't improve things very much.

Anyone got any BTDTs?

I have to do this with mine, I'm going to try a new cable, may even ditch it for the airo catch things when I get a carbon bonnet

I had it happen to me in my first car, I'd had the rad and slam panel off and was a bit giddy to test drive it and forgot to refit the whole catch

I had this on my old car. Whole catch was just filthy with crud from over the years. Took it off, soaked it in petrol for a few hours, gave it a scrub with a old toothbrush to get in all the s**tty bits then greased it up with some white grease. Good as new!

Thanks guys ill have a look at it.
