I was tinkering around the Engine Compartment of the Dmax yesterday and raised the little rubber flap on the lower windshield cowl. I looked at my Hood Hinge bolt on the passenger side and the thing was sticking clean out of the hole. The nut had no threads sticking out of it.
The drivers side was nice and tight?
It was a real pain to tighten it up but all is well now!
Just thought I might get it out there..... somethings we never think about till the hood is wiping out the Patrol car behind us):h

You mean the one that flutters and makes all kindsa noise if you're running over 80 with a bug deflector? That one?
