Default Re: Hood won’t stay up?

If you are sure you have the springs mounted correctly:
Either they sold you low quality springs or your hinges are too loose. You can pound on the pivot rivets to tighten them or get new hinges. They should be pretty hard to operate by hand when off the truck.
One other small point. It could be possible that you have grooves worn into spring brackets which don't allow spring to stay stretched. This, together with Chinese springs, may be at fault. Would be nice to find an original used pair. Made in USA in 1961.
