Now if I can only figure out how to fix the problem so the hood release will work properly. Any suggestions?
Lube everything up good on the latch mechanism, then adjust the rubber bumpers in the front bulkhead (on either side of the radiator) by turning them counter clockwise.

If your hood doesn't look like it's closed all the way, you've adjusted too much...
