Slamming hood or putting it down gently?

[_Cathy_]

Just drop it about a foot above the latch. Pushing will dent the thin sheet metal.

I like the way you think, sir!

it depends, sir.
some car's hoods lock in place with only a small downward push, after gently setting it down.
other cars need to have their hoods dropped from about 6 inches above.
my car had been involved in a frontal before. i have to drop her hood from 1 foot to 1 1/2 feet up. it wakes up the dead, but it's the only way to lock it down. one of these days, kukutingtingin ko siya...

i have all three.

depende sa stoper ng hood yan..pero ako ibaba ko lang saka kaunting diin nag lalacok na siya.sa civic at advie ko...

pero dun sa ford focus ng bayaw ko dimo pwede ibaba lang basta saka idiin..hindi rin pwede ng mga ifeet.kailangan mga 2feet ang taas bago maglock..depende sa sasakyan din.kung saan siya lalapat at mag lalcok ng maganda

On a classic VW Beetle, you grab the handle and slam the hood (trunk).

we lower it down until it sits on the locking mechanism. then we give it a not-so-mild downward push.
if we grab and slam, chances are, masusupalpal. that front hood has so much lateral movement.
and it's not easy, untangling the mess that results if we miss the mark.
