Okay I fixed it after looking at it more closely with a flash light. It was the latch that is connected to the cable that opens the hood that was bent in, so I just bent it back a little moved it back into the upright postion and closed it. Not a perniment fix but at least I dont have to worry about it any more. I think I need to replace or tightent the sping on the latch that is connected to the cable it doesnt seem to let the latch return.
(sorry im not real good with details)
