And that has to do with opening and closing the hood incorrectly how?

I don't know what the guy is really trying to get at. It's my guess that he wishes he had a car like that and someone has told him to watch out for car's that have had the bonnet shut incorrectly. What about all the other known issues? Like hydraulics, etc.

I found a $1300 OEM model that only had the garage door opener.
for $850-1300, a rearview mirror better do all that and provide the best fellatio you've ever had!
