Just got it to close from a foot up. Instead of just letting it drop, I pushed down with force by sort of snapping my wrists. It's fine now. Thanks for the replies.

Next time, try jumping up and down on it. But take your shoes off first. That way, you won't scuff the paint.

I don't think anything binding or rusted. In fact, I think his car is perfectly normal. He's just not used to closing this hood. Since he mentioned that he finally got it to close from 1 foot up, I'm assuming he was trying to drop it from less than this before this attempt. 1 foot is nothing. I used to drop mine from 1.5 to 2 feet up. The ower's manual says to "drop" it but does it way from how high? I don't recall, but that means to drop it from as high as it takes (within reason of course). I guess if you have to get up on a step ladder, then maybe the latch could use a bit of adjustment.
