Hood spring question

About a quarter turn,

"Ryan ekes" posted that he still needed a prop rod. 1/4 turn, from the photos in your post My spring has sprung... looks like you just needed to slip it back on the post.

Maybe "Ryan ekes" issue is wrong hinges for the weight of the hood or a broken spring or if the springs were ever removed they were put on backwords?

"Ryan ekes" how about some photos.
