Took hood off for clutch repair. Replaced now hood will not pop up
without someone jiggling the front of the hood. Is there an
adjustment to this?

Without knowing where in the world you are, a little clarification would
be useful - By hood, do you mean the convertible roof or the opening
panel covering the engine?

If you mean the latter, then there may be a stack of washers on the
thread between the pin and the bonnet framework itself. I found that the
latch on the slam panel had got a bit bent over the years - removing,
dismantling, cleaning, straightening, greasing, re-assembling made it
work MUCH better - from having to jiggle, it now pops up with alacrity.

d'oh.

Clutch repair... You're not going to be removing the roof for that, are
you?

I think it was General Patton who said that England and America are two
countries separated by a common language...
