Then put a piece of painters tape over the latch plate- over the hole- and carefully lower the bonnet into the latch.  That will tell you how much you are off center. Reposition and check fit. This may work-it does on the 100-similar latch. Happy New Year! Hank

I finally got the striker to catch but it will not uncatch. It is wedged in. I have tried to pull the hood release hard while pushing on the hood; no release.
