[QUOTE="mcarroll02, post: 1049934, member: 77994"] I had wondered about that myself. I had a 6" extended cowl hood made of fiberglass on my 93 fox hatch. But never had to worry about that as it was pin on only. No hinges nor latch to stress it. Fiberglass hoods need to be built with either a steel or aluminum frame then just skin them with glass. Either that or they need to be much thicker with a fiberglass frame. Years ago i helped my cousin who owned a body shop, and our specialty was fiberglass repair on semi truck hoods. Cant tell you how many t800 and w900 kenworth hoods we fixed.i wonder if you installed a lower pound rate hood strut if that would help. [/QUOTE]
