Default Keep hood pins or not ????
AFTER DOING AN OIL CHANGE, WHEN I CLOSED THE HOOD THE HOOD WOULD LATCH ,
I TRIED EVERYTHING BUT IT WAS STUCK.
I WAS LEAVING OUT OF TOWN THE NEXT MORNING AND WIFE WAS GOING TO BE DRIVING THE CAR SO AS A QUICK FIX I HAD SOME HOOD PINS LAYING AROUND SO I INSTALLED THEM.

NOW , IN YOUR OPINION SHOULD I REMOVE THE HOOD PINS OR LEAVE THEM??
