Hello everyone, I have a mod for this. Many may not know this but look under your hood. There might be an internal damper also... so if you didn't know if it was there your going to remove it in my mod.
Now remove that damper and lets work on the outside flapper.
Use a hanger and make a long rod with a bend in it like this.
Next your going to remove the flapper and drill a hole in the middle of the flapper. Then two holes in line with each other through the sheet metal to the front of the hood....take note; this all has to line up.
Now slide the rod through the hood and attach the flapper to the rod and reinstall it.
Go inside and push the rod out to open the flapper. Now, bend a small loop.
Pull the rod back to shut the flapper and use a small clip to keep it closed.
There you go...no more tabs and ladders. It opens and closes from the inside...done deal!!
