well...the hood won't latch...it will clikc down to latch itself from flying up, but, it won't lock shut. i removed teh mechanism to look at it, and it's like i push down on the hood, but the little lever won't move far enough to "latch"...any ideas

Has anything changed in this area or have you done anything? Or did this just happen spontaneously?

I don't know, but maybe there's a way to adjust its alignment via bolts or something?

Check the rubber hood bumpers if you took those off.
