Dealers answer to my hood not staying open is
to replace the springs. He says they must be "weak". Has anyone ever heard of the springs becoming weak over time? The hood on my car was replaced with a 1996 R/T hood and ever since the hood won't stay open.

Re: Dealers answer to my hood not staying open is
Yes, the springs are probably weak. This happened to my 97 GTS and I was told that some springs did not get the proper heat treat and were taking a permanent set with use. Get them replaced and you will fix the problem.
