my hood won't latch shut anymore! i popped the hood to aim my headlights, and ever since, I have NOT been able to get the hood to stay shut. it latches so it doesnt fly up, but anybody can come by and pop the hood now. what's the deal?

 

This happened to me. Check your hoodlatch and make sure that it has not moved down. There are tow 10mm bolts that hold it on. Sometimes they loosen up and the hoodlatch moves down. You need to move it back up so that the striker on the hood moves into the latch.

WD40 all over the latch.
Work the hood release from inside the car.
