FIRST, yes I searched but none of the threads answer my question/problem so here it goes...

on my 87 SDL the drivers side hood no longer latches. the mechanism moves freely (when pushed w/ screwdriver or finger as it still has spring tension) but i cant get it to lock in the close position it just springs back up (when compaired to the functioning passenger side) i WD40'd it still no luck. is there anything aside from replacing it that will fix the problem? i dont see the latches in fastlane or allparts catalog, anyone know a PN or source?

thanks,
Ron
