RE: stupid querstion
Hey mate, no disrespect, but I'm unlocking this. If you ask to re-lock, I'll do so. I just feel that our buddies' problem wasn't finding out how! I think he might have a slightly different problem, such as a bad latch, or maybe something else other than not knowing he has to drop it from a slightly higher position. My children could figure that out, and they're like...not even born yet! LMAO!

RE: stupid querstion
IMO, I find it interesting thatmoderators seem to delight in closing topics whenever it suitsthem when lots of additional information may be forthcoming.
I had an issue, got answers and suggestions, was asked to "get back" to the forum with a report of success or failure, and the discussion was closed and locked. I couldn't report my success or failure.
Is there a band width problem or some other problem that causes this early topic closing behavior or am I missing something?

I'm also unsure as to what thread exactly you are referring to?
Its not so much early closing of a topic, more, usually the topic has been discussed and answered. The reason for closure is to try and limit the same topics dragging on when in reality the query has been answered some time ago.
Closing these means that new threads will inevitably open up on new topics keeping the forum fresh.
Anything esle, please feel free to ask and either myself or Biggie will be only to glad to help.
Thanks
Jim

RE: stupid querstion
I agree with Jim! All members have the authority to open and close threads! All you have to do is ask! Unfortunately, we have the reputation to go WAY off topic
, so we like to close topics in hopes of preventing threads from dragging on for up to 10 pages! It's helpful for everyone, because when someone has a problem, it helps the senior members and mods find things easier! Also, fresh topics are easier for creating good conversations and discussions! Don't feel like we "delight" in closing topics, because if you notice, we rarely do it! It's just means for smoother operating! If you noticed, I politely asked Jim if I could unlock this so that the newbie might come back and respond. Not that I expect him to...after all, he is a newbie! However, believe it or not, even our great Jimbo was a newbie once, for like a day. Then the post ***** had like 200 posts that same day!

Paled into insignificance with your 213 though ....and you got the cheek to call me a *****!
Seriously though guys.........If anyone feels that a thread should be locked / unlocked and or edited for any reason, please feel free to ask. We do our best to get it right in our opinion, sometimes wer'r right n sometimes we may be wrong.
You keep this up Biggie n I can see you getting another stripe...lol

Peewee.......is it stiff? I'm assuming you've tried an it operates nice n smooth? Possibly the latch is left in the closed position and needs lubricated?
Well, what happened is that i took the car on a test drive before i bought it and when i hit a small bump in the road the hood unlatched itself and popped up. Since it did that and the dealership and myself saw that as a huge safety issue they told me that they would repair the latch. I think all they did was tighten the **** out of it because i have to hold the latch open to get it to go over the metal piece it connects too then push the hood closed. So thats the story behind my messed up hood latch..lol

Not good bud! I would unbolt the latch and play with it a bit[sm=smiley23.gif]!

RE: stupid querstion
I'm assuming that the car is fairly new then peewee....at least to you
If thats the case try contacting the dealer and report the problems you now have. If it was something pre existing that they knew about and have "fixed" they should be obligated to fix it to your satisfaction.
