Are all of the hood release cables intact and functioning?

Have you lubed the catch assemblies with white lithium grease? You want a clean grab and hold of the latch bar by the latch mechanism. I would start with fresh lubrication....

Lube did not work! Looks like I need to find a new hood latch!
