What do you call the "bracket" on the hood that you strap the windshield to when you fold it down onto the hood? Obviously, I need to order a new one and don't know what to call it.

You had the same problem. Someone either opened the hood all the way mad or jumped on the hood. Or something landed on it.
I had to replace mine and push out the big dent. I have 3 more small dents so I think something fell across mine when the PO hit something with the left front fender.
Now that it's cold I had some paint crack. Nothing big. Touchup stuff. but it looked like someone heavy sat on that and broke it. I pushed the metal back out from under the hood and the dealer I got it from got me a new one that I installed.

Interesting. Yeah, my hood had a big depression in it too, like someone had sat on the hood. I talked the local body shop into just spending one hour on it and they did a great job of pushing the dent back out. Just cost me $100.
