No matter how hard and/or fast I shut my hood, I just can't seam to get the drivers side latch to catch. I've WD40'ed both sides to death...they both were very dirty and didn't spring back. But now they do.

I was having the same problem with the pass. side but it's down and I feel a bit more secure about driving Ol' Smokey with, at least, one latch doing it's job.

What do I do? I've already tried to adjust those "bumper/stops" (obviously I don't know their offical name!)
