Ow mate .. I think u broke the lock from racing the hood to fall down and lock..
Thats not the way. While closing u have to gentely put it down and then pushing it down to click.
You cant throw the hood to lick by itself, :)

Try to use w40 if its not broken and then use grease ,
Hope it works out... Maybe it didnt break, maybe the lock is bent..

Anyway gd luck.

when u close the hood the hook must go inside a small hole that is on the hood , my hook was going forward, so i took a pipe locker and i made an angle on the hook and now its ok :P
