How tired are you of putzing with it? Does it open/close easily enough? Does your hood sit where it should when it is closed, or does it stick up on one side?

I don't know if you can straighten it w/o pulling it off, or not. But my opinion is that replacement is the only way. GM still has them, I believe, and for less than you'd pay an aftermarket supplier....if you know someone.

Here's the part numbers: RH 391-1706; LH 391-1705; Hood hinge spring p/n: 389-0741.
