2nd hood prob... Hood ever pop open on it's own for anyone?
I don't recall seeing this before here, but last night the front hood started popping open on it's own (to the safety position).
You can shut it, and drive a few blocks, & there ya go, light comes on and she's popped.
Sound familiar to anyone?

Happened to me on Thursday when a lady in a truck backed up into my Boxster. 
Pic of my Boxster friend bending the hood back down so I could open the trunk.
Sounds like your latch need to be adjusted. Jeff

Gregg T. I had the exact problem last summer. My hood just kept popping up on it's own. Seemed like everytime I stopped the hood would pop up. Funny Story. I drove to the dealer to have them take a look. The hood even pooped up on my way to the dealer. Once I got there, they couldn't located a problem. The hood hasn't popped up since??? Guess it's like going top the doctor. No Idea what it was since it fixed itself.
