I have an '06 Z71 1500. VIN #GNEK12ZX6G101883. Under the hood, you have the radiator (core) support; mounted to the support there is the hood latch, above the this area ON THE HOOD on most vehicles is a coil spring that gets compressed when the hood is properly latched closed and assists the hood to go up against the safety then the hood is opened. I have a rust spot where this spring might have rested when the hood is shut, IS THERE INDEED supposed to be a spring there?
I do not see it in the Parts blow up.

No spring there.  The springs that hold the hood up when opened pop it up.

It's odd how there is a rust spot right where you'd expect it to be.... Thanks for the response!
Maybe due to water sitting there?
