if that didn't work, maybe it needs to be readjusted, you can do that yourself, but since it's new, I'd just take it to honda and have them do it. Just drive slow, you don't want that ho to pop up on you.

all it needs is a re-adjustment on the hood latch. i had to re-adjust mine once i got the carbon fiber hood

don't press on that aluminum hood too hard, it'll dent it
yeah drop from a foot or two above and it should close by gravity....
*shudder* taking the car to the dealership is scary

I still say jump up and down on it with both feet.
