Consumer Description

THE PRESSURIZED LIFT RODS WHICH HOLD THE HOOD UP FAILED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FIRST TIME THE HOOD FELL AND PINNED MY FINGERS UNDER THE CLOSED HOOD. I FEEL THE COOLER AIR TEMPERATURE (45 DEGREES) CONTRIBUTED TO THE FAILURE. IT HASN'T OCCURED DURING THE WARMER TIMES OF THE YEAR.*AK
