Stock hood alignment

Aren't there two latches (or whatever) on the hood? I closed it once and only one side latched, the other I had to press down on to get it to

Aren't there two latches (or whatever) on the hood? I closed it once and only one side latched, the other I had to press down on to get it to latch.

After getting my oil changed I saw them do the same thing, but other side.

Now I just make sure that I close it with a bit of force (as others have said a lot already).




Now if something's stopping/hitting it, then that's a different story. Get out the dremel or sawzall...

Maybe double check to see if there's any loose things around that area.
Not that I can think of but it was so long ago I cant really remember!

I know what you mean when only one side latches but that is not what is happening. The gap across the front of the hood/bumper looks pretty damn even. I looks around under the hood and didnt see anything that looks like it would be in the way. I will try and get a few pictures up for you guys
