“Hood latch is is a round protrustion that fits into hole on body of car. Round protrusion is held in place by small flat sided piece of metal that slides back and forth instead of by positive clamping action. When the spring or whatever keeps the sliding piece against the protrusion is broken or weakened, the hood flies up obscuring the driver's vision. This is scary at night on a windy road.”
