    is the hood supposed to actually pop up like most other vehicles? mine never did - i could hear it pop but then i would half to pop it open myself then unlatch it - not a big deal just always thought it was weird - all of my latches were well oiled and everything was there

    Yes, it should actually pop up. I replaced my very worn rubber bumpers with some Trooper ones I found in good shape and was then able to adjust them correctly.
    There's no 'I' in denial.

    I bought my VX new and it never popped up by itself either. I pulled the latch and walk around and pop it myself
