06 GP Hood won't close / latch on driver side
The hood on my 06 GP with 82,200 won't latch properly on the driver side. This has been going on for a long time but I never bothered with it but now it's bugging me.
I tried adjusting the 10mm bolts for the hinge in every combination possible.
Then I tried pushing the hook itself to see if I could tell a difference between the passenger and driver side.
Seems like the driver side's a lot easier to push and I noticed the inner piece of metal on the hinge did not move together with the thicker piece compared to the passenger side.
Going to order a replacement. Cheapest I found was $48.xx with $10 shipping from turnermotorsport.com and is genuine MINI.

Anyone else have this problem?
