Agree with this method but the real reason for my post….Hi Folks,
My hood is quite easily closed with a firm push, but I prefer the 6" slam method. opened and closed thousand of hoods in my career at Ford Light Truck...the Ranger does not cause me any alarm.

I felt so bad for my neighbor last week. He brought home a new mini and it is his pride and joy. We of course did the dude thing and looked under the hood. He closed the hood gently, it didn’t close fully and the hood was about 1/4” open. He then pushed it with both hands to final close it, nothing excessive IMO, hands spread and a firm push but it created a 2” dent. That should not happen!!
I felt terrible for him, we all know what that first ding, dent or scratch feels like. I’m sure his dealer can pull it but these cars today are not not as forgiving as yester-year.
