A first linkage can connect the hood to the vehicle body structure and include a first linkage aperture extending therethrough. A second linkage can connect the hood to the vehicle body structure and include a second linkage aperture extending therethrough. A central axis of the first linkage aperture can be coaxial with a central axis of the second linkage aperture if the hood is in the opened state. A key structure can be provided and configured to simultaneously fit into both the second linkage aperture and the first linkage aperture if the hood is in the opened state.
