Remove the springs completely and use a prop rod to hold the hood open when necessary. As for repair, based on the situation described you should have a professional fiberglass repair facility fix the hood. The answer to your repair/replace question will be based on how much they will charge for the repair. Then you do the math.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Are there any boat shops near where you live? They will specialize in fiberglass repairs.

Fiberglass repair is quite easy to do. I would go to your local book store & buy a book on fiberglass repair....they can also be bought at www.amazonh.com or from www.corvetteforum.com or www.digitalcorvette.com
You could also do a search using google on fiberglass repair...DonDon Meyer, PhD-Mech Engr(48 GMC Trk/chopped/cab extended/caddy fins & a GM converted Rolls Royce Silver Shadow).

Nope, but I am an expert on cuts, scrapes and scars. Just using Neosporin and keeping it cleaned and bandage. Too late for stitches or anything else now. If it gets bad then I’ll go see a doctor...
