Re: My new hood hinge springs bent my genuine GM hinges! Crap!

That really sticks. How hard were the springs to install? It sounds like the new springs may have been a little short. You need to measure a factory one against your spring from GMC Pauls and make sure they are the same length. The factory hood hinge spring have very little tension on them when the hood is open. If the springs are too short, I can see how it would bend the hinges.

If the GMC Pauls springs are incorrect, I would be making some calls.
