This sounds like the same issue someone had in https://turbobricks.com/index.php?threads/740-hood-latch-problems.84716/, i.e:

- When I close the hood, both the center and the left latches lock. The right one does not.
- I can push down on the top of the hood by the right latch as hard as I can but no luck
- The right side of the hood seem to be a bit higher than the left when closed; I attribute that to the spring in the latch since I can push it down and when I release it comes back up.
- Using an unscientific approach of inserting my finger down the latch hole, it feels it takes as much pressure to move the tab the hood release pulls on the left side as the right site. i.e. no dragging of any sorts.
- I tried backing out the pin on the hood (the one with the spring on it) in hope it would extend enough to trigger the tab mentioned above. It maybe because I was not brave enough but so far no luck.

What else can I try?
