Best Answer

1. Adjust hood latch using 3 screws. Hood striker must be aligned with centre of latch striker.

2. Make sure latch isnt stuck due to tight cable.

3. Adjust hood alignment if necessary (after performing adjustment of hood latch).

4. Ensure hood rubber dampers arent too high (hence not allowing engagement of hood striker to latch mechanism).

5. Lubricate latch mechanism.

Eyeball it so you know what's cooking. If all else fails, replace the latch (use a screwdriver to mimic the hood engaging with the latch. If it catches, the latch is OK.)
