The semi-classical model GRAZING is used to analyze fusion excitation functions and barrier distributions for several projectile and target combinations. It is shown that the main contribution to the fusion enhancements is coming from the excitation of collective surface modes. The behavior of the fusion excitation function at very low energies is shown to be sensitive to the actual shape of the ion-ion potential at distances shorter than the position of the Coulomb barrier.
