Roy, you still have trigger and bullet. Kidding, I think. After I just came in from looking over my problem it's pretty self explanatory. Thanks so much. I'm going to take a shot at it tomorrow.

Roy, I got front fascia on and secure, but the hood, when it's closed will depending on surface, the hood will pop loose causing it to only stay closed. Because the first part of latch keeps it the hood from opening and causing a very bad situation. The latch mechanism does not appear damaged. How do I get it to work properly?

There should be 2 bolts for the hood latch. Loosen them up and lift up the latch a little and tighten the bolts. Then close the hood and see if it stays.

Okay Roy, I loosened up three bolts didn't get much play, it is a little better. I was just thinking when this happened I drove the car a couple of days without facia on the car. The hood double latched no problem. Any thoughts?

This is a result of the accident. The mount for the latch is bent not allowing the hood to latch securely.

If you cannot get the adjustment correct, you will have to have the car checked to see if the bar it is mounted on is bent.

Okay, then make sure the facia is not blocking the hood too close.

Can you upload some pictures for me to view?

I will try Roy. I'm going to go out there in awhile I also think facia is blocking full closing of hood. It is still hot here and my immune system is still messed up with effects of chemo. I will get back at you ASAP. Thanks again for all the help.
