Becareful on putting too much pressure on the hood to try latching it. My friend did that with his Seibon hood and the cracks started to show up.
I never heard of taking out the spring on the latch to solve this problem either. Did you try lowering the latch by loosening the three bolts holding it in place?

that should be all you need to do, just installed my seibon hood like a month ago, and all i had to do was just undo the 3 screws and lift it up, then tighten and close. ya and definately be careful about slamming it, i did it and cracks are there now. good luck with it all

i also am having a problem with my TS hood. I adjusted the latch When i first installed it...if i pushed down with enough pressure, The hood would shut and everything is fine.
this was months ago.
But recently i changed the battery, and when i try to shut the hood it will not latch anymore?? I checked the latch, its raised all the way up. I checked the hood and nothing looks out of the ordinary. It hooks the first hinge...but it will not latch all the way down to wear the tooth locks into the groove.
Any ideas?? why would this happen now all of a sudden? I didnt mess with the hood or anything, i just popped it like normal and now it will not shut
