popping hood

My hood keeps popping up. I have to slam it shut. When I drive on highway it get loose and pops up again. Can I use a hood latch from a 2ga? Will it solve the problem? Any advice will be great. Thanks

Re: popping hood

Yeah, I checked the black rubber thing. Im not why buy my hood is a little off alignment also. More closer to the driverside. Sorry for be a noob, but how do you adjust the latch if I was to get a different one?

Re: popping hood

The holes on the latch are bigger then the bolt or studs that hold it on.
