P80 + MVS official hood popper , now only $10

Post by abscate »

Send $10 and get yours today!

Use this when one side of your hood sticks and you have too many car projects to get your hinge adjusted properly.

Also works for winter weather stickdowns

(Ca residents , winter isn’t when the temperatures dip to 68 F)

Only $10 but free shipping with your next Amazon order. It comes attached to the box, user removal required.

You've probably noticed that the V70 I donated has the same problem. An icy road caused me a very low speed spin into a tree, knocking the hood slightly off of straight. Opening the hood requires pulling the latch in the car, trying to lift the hood so it raises a tad on one side, pulling the latch again, then lifting the hood the rest of the way.

But, every P80 Iv'e owned was exactly the same, and so far, I have avoided most trees and such.
Maybe I should try to figure out that adjustment thing.
