Has your car ever been in a accident? I assume you adjusted the latch over. It also makes a difference on how you tighten the hood levers on the side, try not to tighten one side all the way, and than go tighten the other. Alot of times the side you tighten first has will have the biggest gap. I found its best to snug each of the bolts up, than tighten them. All hoods come from the same mold and are the same size. I know its a pain, but try messing with it some more. Let us know how it goes.
