How do you close the hood on a 1998 Honda Civic if it will not latch when you try to close it Do you need a replacement hood latch or is there a trick to close it that is missing?
I had this problem when my civic was in a front end collision. I opened the hood and pounded out the dents with a rubber mallet, but then the hood wouldn't latch. The hood is curved and by pounding out the dents in the front, i had bent the front of the hood upwards, making it impossible for the latch to fully engage. I solved the problem with a few well placed mallet blows near the middle of the hood, which brought the front end of the hood back into its more natural position. This might not be the optimal solution if you hood isn't already banged up, but it might set you in the right direction. I had this problem when my civic was in a front end collision.
