I don't have my car yet, about 2 weeks away, but I've been reading the S owners manual cover to cover in hopes I will be pretty well informed once the big day arrives.
I see that they make quite a big deal about where to place your hands on the hood when closing in order to prevent damage, Apparently the hood is very lightweight aluminum and not only cannot be closed under its own weight, but careful hand placement must occur (each side of "V" nose area) and equal depressing until it latches is required, or bending will occur. Has anyone had an issue or worse, some 3rd party worker (tint, wrap, etc.) do damage?
For some reason this has me worried. I seem to have that luck with cars and I don't know of a real way to prevent other than never let anyone touch the hood (which makes getting tint, wraps, etc., done without fear impossible).
