Repair for a ford explorer hood?
How much would it cost to repair/replace a 2013 ford explorer hood? There's a hole in it(1 inch by 1 inch) right over the left headlight from something falling on it. There also is a couple scratches on it around the hole from the object falling on it too. I was thinking it might need to be replaced due to the hole in it but if not how much would an estimate of the cost be? If it needs to be replaced how much would that cost?
Any good body man can fix it for under $500
What I would do that would cost nothing. Find a piece of thin metal like in a pot pan. Cut it to size and use machine screws, lock washers and nuts to secure it in place. Using the ball end of a ball peen hammer to shape it. You will need a drill and drill bit a tiny bit wider than the machine screws that you use.
- My 2000 Ford Expedition is smoking from under the hood and it happened after I gased it to get in front of a vehicle It's saying service engine soon and not a clue what it is, smokes from the middle of the parts under the hood where the air filter connects to. Not sure what that is
