It's the locking mechanism me thinks. My hood would close but would not open! It took about 2 hrs of snooping around and tinkering to figure it out. I had to undo the bolt/nut holding the locking mechanism dozens of times to open to put it all together so I could close and see what happens. I did this over and over again. IT was not fun at all working with no room. Anyhoo, I suspect when the front of the car came off, some screw were misaligned or in my case, over tighten and is touching some part of the locking mechanism. You might want to shine a light and snoop around to see if anything is rubbing or touching another part in there.

GJ on the BP kit!
