After taking a minute to study your post,
it may be possible to remove the spring,
which is what is 'winding' up the hinge,
tweak the hinge back while hood is propped
up on a stick.Use a large crescent wrench or two.
Check alignment as you close it.
If it latches properly,and,it should because you haven't
crashed the car,and altered dimensions, it won't fly open.
Make sure it clicks AND Latches.
Tug up hard on it to test.
You can easily remove the grill and see it to be sure.
Wire it down with a coat hanger to be double sure.
