My hood latch in my 93 cobra does not latch anymore? When I drop the hood on the latch the hood just bounces up! Does anyone have tips on how to fix it or what may be wrong? When I pull on the hood latch release its all loose. Any help would be great.

Thanks:shrug:

You might have a dirty hood latch that is stuck open and just needs to be cleaned and lubed.Push in the hood release thats inside the car and try closing the hood it should latch.

I have used brake clean to remove the old grease/dirt from the latch,then I spray the latch with penetrating oil.
