Sider hood latches--can I do without for a few days?

[Easy Ed]

Ah, there could be a problem if it comes un-latched Mark, quick stops and the hood will go forward...... I know this.

Was working on the truck, took it for a test drive and forgot to let the hood latch, it was just "layin there" and when I went to stop I seen the hood going forward, let off the brakes and rolled to a stop and then latched everything up while I finished my "repair work test drive"
