adjust the latch, sounds like it is binding causing the latch to flex when you force it closed

have cf hood that was hard to close and when unlatched jumped up way to hard. After playing it I disovered how large the spring is on the latch. I went to home depot got a new spring same length but not as strong. Hood now closes nice and easier and pops with just a little click.
