You know when you fit the damper rods so as to hold the bonnet open, can you still drop the bonnet down to close it? I mean literally drop it or does it need to be push closed/shut?

The reason I ask is that the latter normally results in dents or ripples on the bonnet.

 

Still drops shut.

 

depends how hard you pull the bonnet down, with mine fitted, i can make the bonnet stay open at any height, if i pull on the bonnet catch to slam it shut it would do i guess but i always lower it slowly and then push on it to latch it, never resulted in a dent, yet lol

 

pushing subaru bonnets shut is a risky business, so very good question OP

 

Even though I'm a dent tech by trade I still don't want the hassle of removing dents on my own cars. Feels like I'm at work when I do.

 

Once it gets down past half way ish it drops itslef (steel bonnet anyway) not sure aboout an ali one
