There wasn't a suitable category for my question, sorry!
My hood bolts are rusty and one has just broken so my hood is just attached by one rusty bolt and the latch. Is this something I can replace myself? Do I need a special bolt? Something I can get at an auto parts store?
Thanks,
Judie

Hi:
You will need to drill out the old bolt and try to retap the nut that the broken bolt attaches to. Once it is drilled out and the rusted one is gone, determine the best size tap to retap the hole to, and get a new bolt.
