That...

Completely sucks.

How bad is the cowl under the hood?

Did you have a change of pants in the car or did someone have to bring you a pair?

The good news (I suppose) is that this has happened before and that there are repair threads in this forum.

The other good news (again, depending on how you look at it) is that now you know what the secondary latch is for. It goes here:

OUCH, raining little glass chunks. I once put on an alternator on my 95Vert in the dark and left a hammer over the radiator. And YES a hammer is the perfect tool to replace the alternator LOL. I closed the hood and didn't realize it did not properly latch. I had to go out and test drive the car afterwards, about 70 is where mine let loose and basically formed to the windshield and I had the top down. Once I was satisfied I didn't mess my pants I pulled over on the side of the road to assess the damage. Luckily the hood was the only loss.

The Blue lights though which appeared shortly after I stopped didn't help much. In my area of the country, well you have to be careful who you trust no matter what job they hold.
