Abstract
A vehicular hood apparatus (,) includes a link mechanism (,) and a temporal fastening member (,). The link mechanism is interposed between a vehicle body frame (,) and a hood (,). The link mechanism is extended and contracted in correspondence to upward and downward motions of the hood. When the link mechanism is contracted, the member fastens the contracted link mechanism to a bracket (,) mounted on the vehicle body frame so as to prevent the contracted link mechanism from rattling. As the hood is lifted up, the member is cut to thereby permit the link mechanism to be extended.
