Smithy/ Michelle,
Whatever your name is (-: I agree with Eric on the solution, however there may
be another problem that I had. Check the release knob under your right knee(if
RHD) or left knee (if LHD) and make sure it is pushed forward after you close
the
bonnet. I figured this out after it popped on me doing 120 MPH (speedo is off
calibration because I have 185/60 R 14 Goodyear's on it HeHe) Good luck!!
