CREASE ACROSS THE FRONT OF YOUR M-38A1 HOOD

A reminder to all that even the heavier M-38A1 hood will lift if it is not latched.

Yep, that's part of my "pre flight"! I've seen hoods fly up, and it ain't no fun! :(

MB thru M-38A1 and the CJ's. Always make it a point to make sure your hood is latched before driving off. It will lift instantly over 25MPH and it can take the glass out.
Checking to see if it is latched should be as automatic as checking to see if your fly is zipped. :wink:
