- Sat Jun 06, 2009 9:54 pm #121097 having a problem with my bonnet catch, it seems everytime i drop the bonnet, the catch unit gets pushed down on the mounting bolts meaning its to low for the bonnet to catch into place..

has anyone else had this problem?

- Sun Jun 07, 2009 3:25 pm #121186 Isn't the latch / catch assembly adjustable? I know it is on 96-00 civics. If you loosen all 3 or 4 bolts that hold it to the chassis, you can slide it up or down a little and then tighten the bolts back down.

What made this just start happening? Or has it always been a problem? Was your car ever in an accident on the front end?

no front end damage to my knowledge, looks clean and unbent.

i bout the car off the road, and it didnt have a bonnet catch when i bought it. now that the car is almost ready to be put back on the road i had to fit a catch.

tried three different catches but same problem with all.

- Sun Jun 07, 2009 5:47 pm #121211 it might be the hood part of it??

- Sun Jun 07, 2009 8:12 pm #121222 You may actually have it too high. The latch only has a certain amount of tolerance in both directions. Try lowering the catch slightly and see if ti solves your problems.
