My hood quit closing....am I missing something? On the hood isn’t there supposed to be a catch for the hood latch on the body? I’ve read the posts about this but nothing about a hood catch.

Unfortunately on our cars you have to really let the hood drop with force for the latch to engage.

I tried it even from all the way up and letting it drop....a friend told me theres a piece bonded in the hood that might have fell out inside the hood
