Hi Klaus. You have saved me again. Before today's trip (330 miles), I re-examined the driver's side hood latch. Taking your advice, I checked the interior pull, then around the cables, then carefully looked at the right and left side latches. It started to make sense to me how this was all supposed to work, and I suddenly could see that I was only bringing up the driver's side latch part way. Unfortunately, there was no obvious way of bringing it up to full position. Sprayed around the cable with W-D 40. Tried a couple of things, then EUREKA! I moved a metal part near the cable connection and the latch came fully up. Closed hood, and the connection was very snugly made. Hooray! Made the trip with no hood issues at all, and felt so relieved. Now I have a "cure" other than bungie cord and rope. I have your further suggestion that the passenger side latch is likely low, causing it to sometimes pop up over there, too. I am so grateful that you took interest in my post and shared your knowledge, once again. Good trip today. Relief!
