Default Hood Latch..

I remember seeing a modification to the latch to fix the hated 'closing' issue.

Anybody?

Yes, the massive force needed to close the hood.

don't remember seeing a fix but i just loosened mine and raised it by about and inch then re-tightened everything. now i can close it by simply pressing on the hood

you might have to adjust it a few times to get it just right. the left side of my latch is just a hair higher than the right, i find it closes smoother that way
