Silly question here Bob but they didn't remove the hood to change the
windshield did they? I don't think they would have needed to? Just the
cowl? Unless they fussed with the hood - there should have been no
messing with the hood alignment. Which is what it should like is wrong?
If the latch and cable are good - then there's a good chance the hood
hook isn't aligned right in relation to the latch on the radiator support.
