Question Hood Not closing all the way

Ok, so when I close my hood, it closes all the way, meaning that it doesnt like come unlatched but i can lift it a little bit and its got that gap where i can lift. Its getting really annoying cause it sounds like a bad rattle when i go over little bumps. Anyone know what to do?

i have the same problem, ive been an accident so i thought it was that, just play your music loud, you wont hear a thing. I tried that black rubber thing too, helped but didn't get rid of it.

Had the same problem. The hood latch/release mechanism can be raised/lowered. I had it in for inspection, and had honda tighten it up under warranty.
