If I hit my head on that stupid hood latch one more time....

[tan top]

  Brain hook  

 , hit my head on the hood latch first day i got my charger 24 years ago , & it drew blood    ,  i looked at the said pain inflicting device  , &  said you F%^&$%%(*&%^%%^%
then  wondered how many different heads this has hit over the years   ,  10 minutes later it hit me again , in the same spot    then many times over the years too also in same spot   ,  most of the time i remember its there ,     now it hardly ever hits my head , although when it does , its a different spot than it use to be ,   think i might have shrunk

Haven't done it yet, but now I know to be wary.
Thanks for the heads up. No pun intended.

Trust me after you hit it enough you'll build up so much scar tissue that you wouldn't feel it anymore. But the blackouts are a real drag.

You guys are hysterical!

TPR, you don't believe us now but trust me, in spite of the warning, you ARE going to do it.

I can't believe you guys have the hood open so often that hitting your head is routine...

I've only hit my head a couple times - but I'm short and almost never stand in the center either. I have more issues snagging my shirt sleeve on the hood hinge springs.

A tennis ball is probably the simplest/easiest solution.

Try working on a A Body and a B Body, stand to the side while working on one, and in the center when working on the other, then forget about the respective latch.

That's just it though, if I had it open often then I likely would remember.

tennis balls work great for sharp edges

There should also be a tennis ball on that hood latch sitting on the roof

Cut a hole in a tennis ball and slide it over the latch while you are working on it.

That's what I do, and I usually don't remember to remove it before attempting to close the hood.

Wear a crash helmet. Airbrush Dino's Racing on the sides . You will look cool.

I've hit my head more times than I can remember.  Wait , what was this tread about again ?
