Put my winter wheels/tires back on early so I didn't have to buy new tires right now - that alternator was bad enough, and I couldn't keep driving on these (plus this one had a nail in it, too - the other one was on the tail end of its life).

Today I replaced my hood struts... So nice not using a jack handle to keep it propped open!

Doesn't matter what it was doing, you can still pull them sideways which pulls them off line so they scrape the side so they open, hold & close. That's the quick/free fix.
