I have had 2 VW's with hood damage.  Strange, considering that there are TWO 
latches and a saftey latch (which d/n work)


Where can you get a new cowl?  It looks as if they are spot welded to the 
firewall.  I tried to take one off a junked Scirocco, all I could do is twist 
and tear the metal.  If it is too much of a pain in the butt, I will just 
paint the thing black, maybe with some other cheap tricks it will blend in 
okay....
