The second elongated beam further includes at least two adjustable extensions protruding from the engagement side of the fixture and configured for engagement with a surface of the hood. The second beam further includes an at least generally tangential projection configured to engage a striker of the hood. At least two struts extend between the first and second elongated beams.
