How to close the hood properly

[falken]

I drop it from 5 to 8 inches.

Mga honda reasonable height and drop.
Mga toyota push down to lock

Based on experience lang.

Thanks for the replies! Nice to know the clear majority secure their hoods by "dropping" (method#2) without any adverse effects on the hood locking mechanism. :D

Drop the hood. That is how it is explicitly stated on most new motor vehicle owner's manuals.

#2. its really the right way I think.

[leinahtan]

Drop it from a certain distance enough to lock it, about one foot.

hmm.. i always do method 1. better change to method 2. thanks for the tip!!

dropping from about 30 cm works in my xuvi. i never push coz it will never lock. unless gusto kong mayupi yong hood ko.
