Hi Frank -

Got mine in just a bit ago - thank you!

Though I cannot close my hood with it installed and I gave it a really good try at closing too. What step am I missing - is alignment of the hood required of some kind? When I first put it in, the spring just kind of turned and turned and was loose/floppy. There was no more tighten I could do down into the hood.

I know the sheet say don't use the nut... not sure what to do now.
