Hood does not catch latch?
Ive tried it all(adjusting bolts and hood etc) however still does not work. Basically it looks like the hood is short by a little bit it lines up fine but the latch where u pull to open under the hood doesnt reach into the hole where it should go in. It looks as if the hood latch is too far up ive tried tightening loosing etc. Any suggestions? Yes its stock hood

If you've aligned the hinges correctly, all that's really left is adjusting the striker.
Loosen the striker/hood latch/ whatever you want to call it and slide it up toward the hood and tighten down. Keep messing with it till you find that sweet spot. Also try checking to see if your hood bumpers are up too high. That could be causing the hood to not sit down far enough. |

if none of the above works, try lowing the bumber support (i believe its called). there are two bolts on each side. i just did this the other day, no adjustments to hood or latch were allowing it to catch. turns out, the bumper support was just a little to high.
