For all those with cooling panels Options

[Sinyk]

I can't close my hood with the cooling panel installed. Every time I try to close the hood, it bounces back up because it collides with the hood stand. The only way I can seem to get the hood to close is by slamming it about as hard as possible which is unacceptable, so how can I get my hood to close WITHOUT removing the hood stand bar? I do not want to install hood shocks nor do I want to carry my hood stand in the trunk. It seems like a lot of people are using these panels and must be able to close their hoods, so how do I do it?

With it in place:


Where the hood prop keeps hitting the bar.


I noticed that the frame bends inward to accommodate the hood stand, but the cooling panel straightens this section.


Please help. I'm very frustrated...

file the section of the bar flat so it can accommodate the hood, or you can try to hammer it flat. I know it sound dodgy but its the fastest way to eliminate the problem.
