Adjusting the latch
The upper hood latch is secured with two small bolts. If the hood is difficult to close, adjust the upper spring latch. To do this, loosen the lock nut and turn the latch shaft held by the spring to obtain the required length. The required adjustment is achieved empirically.
Lubricate the latch and safety bracket with a small amount of engine oil.
