Where does this wire go?

I just got the blanket for the underside of the hood on my 96 Cobra hood. There's a braided wire that hangs down on the passenger side and I was wondering what it connects to? It looks like a ground, but I just wanna make sure I put it in the right place.

Pictures would be

Thanks guys!

Mine screws into the hood. The metal brace part.

On the passenger side, there is an extra hole in the hood hinge. That will ground it to the car.

why would a fiberglass hood need a ground???

I think it for when your hood flys off it stays with the car.

It's not a ground FOR the hood. It's a ground for the liner. It has a foil surface in it. I removed my liner all together.

The ground strap is for antenna performance (equality and suppression).

If you remove it like I have, you run the risk of opening people's garage doors.

I found it on my other mustang [it has a ground and stuff]


...I think I recall a thread about you passing houses and garage doors going crazy...Along with car alarms....
