Default Help !!!

I need help with a problem that I am having with my hood. For some reason the driver side of the hood locks like it should but it has a gap between the hood and door. The passenger side locks and is setting the way it should. Is there a way to ajust the hood to make it set flush, I have ajusted the rubber stoppers and that didn't help.

The rubber stoppers are probably not the problem. it is most likely the male part of the latch that needs adjusted. Does it need greased? Maybe it's not "seating" all the way down???

Unless the male part of the latch is loose, it should latch and set fine.

I'd try some grease first.
