and make sure u dont have anything that should be in there in the way.

i tried to shut my hood with my wallet right next to the latch and the top of the box around the air filter not all they way on...im a dumbass arnt i?

was your hood fitting properly before? Have you been in any accidents? It could be possible the frame had been tweeked. If not, there are two bolts the hold the latch in place (in front of the radiator). Loosen the two and push down on the latch, then retighten the bolts. That might do it

Thanks for the help guys. I just bought the cars used a week ago and im wonderin if it could of been in an accident, but theres no other signs then the hood bein off alittle. I had my mechanic check it out before we bought it. He said everything was perfrectly fine. It isnt like it miss shaped or over laps the front bumper. It just doesnt shut all the way down. It sticks up just a tad like i said.I also ran a carfax on it and it came up clean.

There are little rubber stoppers on each of the front corners of where the hood closes, try screwing those in further.
