Hood latch problem
 
OK I know I've asked alot of questions so far.
But I've onnly had this a short time I want to get all the bugs worked out.

How do I adjust the hood latch?
right now if pull the hood release switch I still have to bang
and fight the hood to get it to release fully.

Thanks

just sounds like it needs some WD40

OK I spray some WD-40 and it help a little.
But what really did the trick was I loosened the 2 bolts on the lower latch
and moved the latch as as it would to toward the passenger side of the car.
It now pops right open when I pull the switch (lever).

Mine was so bad that just before I fixed it, I couldn't get open even with the help of a friend.
We tried for about 10 minutes and gave up.
It partially opened to safety latch while I was driving.
So slapping the hood was no longer an option for me.
