Default Warning, Hood popped open on freeway.

I guess there is some major up force or something, but going to work in the morning my hood poped up, not all the way, the latch held it, but it was moving like crazy so I had to pull over and close it. Thing is that hood was closed and I had been driving for a week with no problems.

pop goes the weasel and weasel says pop.

Glad to hear nothing happened to you.

I used to have a 93 eagle talon, that hood flew open so far that it cracked my windshield and dented my roof.

the hood bounces mostly because the integrity is lessened with that huge hole in it, not to mention is is made of aluminum. this doesnt have anything to do with the hood popping open, though. and the rear spoiler moving around should just be proof that its doing something
