Hood Latch?

without seeing it i would look for anything under the hood not allowing it to close and make sure the latch is unlatched like you did with the screw driver , ther are also tow rubber stoppers on eith side of the radiator support that can be adjusted up or down for clearance issues you can adjust these by hand

Thats the thing - it doesn't look like it could close anymore. I was considering adding a couple of washers to the bar on the actual hood to see if that will get it to latch. When I push the hood all the way down it is pretty much flush (looks like it is going down all the way). Everything inside the mechanism looks sturdy.

Thanks again for the help.

try and spin the stoppers down , they are either on the fenders at the front of the hood or on the rad support , i wouldnt try the spacer on the latch , just look at it closely whe its closing and spin those rubber stops down a few turns ad try it and keep adjusting until the hood will go low enough

thanks , jim
