Hi all,

my hood on my 89 244 will not lock. it WILL close, but when I slam the hood shut it invariably pops back up, whether right away or after a few blocks of driving. i thought it could have been the cable, its very resistant to wanting to be pulled and then i have to push it back in to get the hood to catch, and even then it still pops back out after a few minutes. The spring on the hood and the hole it rests inside when the hood is closed are both covered in graphite grease. anyone ever have an issue with this? was it an easy fix? thanks.
