Help please my 71 Front trunk/hood will not close. I cannot get it to latch down fully.
I tried spraying WD-40 into the latch & you can hear the cable moving too. Any ideas ? |

Sometimes when you pull the handle out to release it, it doesn't return all the way and the cable holds it open. Make sure you have pushed in the T handle all the way forward and then try to close it. Happens to me all the time.
