That really sucks. The metal under the vent should be flat. Usually, if you take out the wiper linkage you may be able to get under the dent. This is the reason why I take the front bumper off to line up hoods on foxes....and, personally, I use hood pins. Post picks if you can. A lot of folks here have bunches of experience fixing stuff like that. Good luckSo my hood flew up on me @50 mph when I was driving yesterday, the damage is minimal I think haven't looked inside to much. My question is the metal pieces next to the grill/vent on either side got hit and are slightly damaged but the vent itself got trashed is the metal under the vent supposed to be flat or not? Will post pics later stuck @ work right now [emoji14]
....more mad that everytime I fix something a new problem arrives the immediate second I fixed the last problem
A good body shop can fix it with a stud puller and some body work skimming. A cowl hood would've done more damage. No reason to replace the whole cowl. That top sheet metal actually goes behind the windshield where it spot welds to lower portion. Its way more involved to replace the whole cowl. A good body man could fix it and paint the upper cowl. Sucks man but at least you didn't crash when it flew up.
At least 1k ...been my experience with body shops. Can you turn it into insurance? Pay the Deductible and have it professionally done?
