5 minutes before 2022........ Happy New Year to all. Just wondering if any RK37 owners have an issue opening the hood. MIne has always been a bear to open since new sometimes requiring a screwdriver through the grasping ring to open the hood. I figured that was normal until I noticed on some the RK37 videos on YouTube where they seem to have to put no effort at all into opening the hood. With the hood open I can close the latch with a screwdriver and open it with ease. The cable and latch assembly seem to work effortlessly with the hood open. It seems that when the hood is closed that the seals add enough stress on the latch to cause this difficultly but I didn't see any adjustments to this. I greased the latch and lubes the cable and like I mentioned the cable and latch move smoothly with the hood open. Anyone else faced this and if so what was the fix? Thanks.......Don
