Hi,

Ever since I had the  front fenders (wings) replaced, I've had a problem
with the drivers side latch being loose.  I have adjusted the catch on
the side of the bulkhead all the way down, adjusted the locating cone
down such that the bonnet is actually a little higher (1/4-1/2 inch)
than the panel in front of the windshield.  Still, the latch is loose.

The passenger side latch fits tight, but again I have a problem.  While
driving, the passenger side latch comes open.  The drivers side latch,
while it isn't doing much stays shut.  What's going on here?   Any
ideas/suggestions to fix my problems?

Thanks in advance.
