    Mga brod. What is really the proper way of closing the engine hood or hatch? Kasi sabi ng iba for the hood:
    -let it loose sa ere so pag bagsak sarado na para daw hindi masinga yung ngipin ng lock (I heard this when I was youger sa uncle ko).Hindi ba mas masisira eto pag laging ibinabagsak?
    -close it gently na half close tapos push it nalang to close.Pag lagin ganito e di may dent na hung hood. May korteng palad o kamay.
    Ganun din sa hatch. Pasensya na mods if may dublicate thread. Pakimerge nalang. Hindi makita e. TIA.

    ako binabagsak ko from a height of about 4-6inches, letting the weight of the hood close itself when it falls.

    advice sa aking ng mechanic sa ford, ibagsak lang daw yung hood kasi nga daw kapag half close tapos tulak na lang para magsara, magkaka-dent nga raw.

    It's in the owners manual - ibagsak mo.

    Yung car doors araw araw naman natin binabagsak (sideways nga lang) pero hindi naman nasisira.

    Yung boxtype Pajero namin puro dent sa hood courtesy of former owner who didin't have a clue as to how to slam a hood shut.

    thanks guys. Pero pano naman sa likod? Yung hatch? Siguro ganun din. Ibagsak. Sir OTEP. Hindi ba korteng kamay or palad yung dent sa pagero mo. Ako naman kasi ibiabagsak ko lang ang hood sa reason ng pagmamadali lang at sa mga uncle ko na ganun ang ginagawa. Tamad lang ako magbasa ng manual. hehe

    Di ko binagbagsak, i push the BMW emblem down to close it so di magkakadent yun hood. Yun compartment yun binabagsak ko from about 6 inches.

    oh yeah, to add, i don't slam the outlander's rear hatch though. the weight of the hatch itself and the gas struts allow you to just let the hatch drop carefully and yet still engage with the lock properly.

    bagsak lang din (accdg to the service advisor).. around 6-12 inches depende sa bigat ng hood.. makukuha mo naman yung tamang height pag madalas mo ginagawa..

    I drop the hood. Learned the hard way when I saw dents on the hood of my 1st car.

    I drop the hood as well, looking for the lowest height possible to still close it.

    Korteng ball ng hand yung mga lubog sa hood ng Pajero dati. Magkatabi pa. Dalawang kamay pinang-sasara niya.
