I think it says in the directions,, that you go like seven holes in on each side notch it out. I did that and then the latch still hit when you went to pop the safety on the latch. So you can do two things. Either trim the latch down where it will hit the condenser. Buy a vw style latch and catch for the hood and build a plate or order one from ironworks I believe sells one. The only other choice would be hood pins. I am not big on them but it may be a simple solution. I think some grinding on the back of hood latch will take care of it.
