[W126 Coupe] Hood Latch

[calvin young]

Thanks Guys,

I fixed the part that I had by cleaning out all of the gunk and soaking the 
part in tranny fluid.  Apparently, years of grime and dirty grease clogged 
the part so that the latch would not hold down the top of the latch attached 
to the hood.  Good thing too, the part costs $344 retail and $175 from a 
junk yard.

Thanks again,

Cal
