I recently read an article about the hood safety latch on the S-Type not working and thought I would pass it on to others on the forum. The suggestion that the safety latch no working concerned me and found my cars latch needed repair. I hope this helps! http://www.gusglikas.com/images/Auto...od%20Latch.pdf

 

Outstanding! Thanks for bringing this to many members attention. I seen so many times on other cars where the saftey latch failed and smashed the windshield and damaged the hoods. Going to check on my STR for this
