Hood Latch adjustment

I think my 96 EB hood does not latch low enough. The hood seems to be sitting about an 1/8 of an inch to high. It vibrates a lot especially on the highways. I am thinking that I can lower the latch a hair and hopefully correct this problem. Does anyone have any experience with this? From searching it seemed that you could adjust the latch but no thread addressed it specifically for the Bronco. Thanks for any help.

on my truck you have to give it a real good push down, if i lightly pushed it down it would stay up like your saying. Try giving it a good slam down.

you can adjust the rubber stops on either corner, too, on the core support. As for the latch, the bolts along the front side can be used to move it in any direction. Just take little steps, though, and check the alignment before closing the hood. If you're not careful, it can be very hard to open it again.
