I've seen several hoods now that have the start of cracks down towards the front were thoose cables hold the hood up when its open. We got w8ing4snows glued right away as it had a 1/4 crack and I noticed I had the same but figured it could wait tell later if I was carefull about having the hood open. Nope I got a 3.5 crack now on the one side
. Be carefull opening your hood and don't let the wind blow on it. I've seen several 05-06 Ms and CFs now with the start of cracks and heard of a few cracking like mine. On w8ing4snows we had a local bodyshop lay a bead of there glue around the support the cable screws into and it seems to work and should help as a preventative. I'll post some pictures of mine later. I think i'll try and find a place farther up the hood were we can mount the cables that has more material to hold to and won't put as much stress on the hood. Pics to follow.
