Re: Hood latch question?
Can you push down a bit or is it bottomed out? The adjusters on the core support could be too high or if it has a spring action the center adjustable pin on the hood could need to be adjusted in.

Re: Hood latch question?
Have you check the hood side of the latch to see if it can be adjusted to move away from the support portion? making a adjustment would bring the hood closer in when it shuts. The spring adjustment is just for raising the hood up after the release is pulled. So you dont need much tension on it.

Re: Hood latch question?
I would start with removing the upper part from the hood. Now adjust the hood to sit where you want it with the stops on the support. Then reinstall the upper part and adjust the pin until it latches with just a little play up and down when latched.
