Does the latch work properly, can you get it to latch-unlatch with lid up? I know that doesn't really make sense but best I can describe question lol.

Soak it with wd40. Take long flat head screw driver and play with manual release line. Make sure its all the way out. It will show some play. Your hood not closing because manual release is stuck open.
