But it seems to me that if you wanted all that air moving about your

I just scanned my original Handbook and found no mention of it. It
occurs to me that it could possibly refer to the bonnet latch release
cable, but the terminology is odd...

Would anybody care to discuss this further? This is a real sore point
for me, and I'd like to see the actual DOT specification. Is it some

way it should be.
