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... --------------------  |
