Description of the problem | When my husband closed the hood it dented. One should have a reasonable expectation that when you close the hood that the metal will not bend. I believe that the aluminum that they are using is of too thin/ inferior grade. I would hate to see what would happen if there was an accident if the hood could bend so easily from just closing the hood. |
