In the pics the latch is no where near the loop on the hood. So drop pop and lock it. B)

I had the same issue, had to grind down the bottom of the U part where the hood latch slides down. Same symptom, fit Gords car but not mine.... after I used a chisel (since its sharp and flat) to just grind out the U a little deeper it fit fine.

I am assuming here when you push down it does go down all the way but just does not latch. If the photo shows as far down as you can possibly push the hood then theres another issue, like the bump stops..
Hope photo helps.

Glad to see you finally got it to close and latch. Now take it all apart and paint those washers black so they don't stick out like a sore thumb. :D

Yes it is normal....
And why i got rid of both my Cf hoods.... lol
It's not that i was worried it would break or fly off, i just found it very distracting
Now i find with the Cervini's when the temp drops a bit outside it cools down the cabin inside at highway speeds :blink:
