Do you slam the hood to close?
Hi, Just bought 2010 GS350 AWD CPO with 26k miles. I have to almost slam the hood to close it. Is this normal? The dealer says the hood is fine and this car was not involved in front-end collision. Thanks!

Hood is light, and aluminum.... I have two dents caused by falling acorns parked on the street once to prove it. I never have to slam it but you have to do more than just drop it... kind of like closing a door.

Over the latch is reinforced/sturdier, and no-one is suggesting it be leaned into, just a firm action.
I guess the lack of threads containing revelations of having damaged the bonnet by being forceful would seem to indicate most of us have managed to get the measure of it, without too much of a problem.

for me... close the hood softly, than to close the last latch i spread my hands evenly on the hood close to the edge and close to the latch and press fast hard down.
