there is a pin that runs down the centre of the spring on the latch mechanism. Try adjusting this in a little.

first check that the bonnet pull goes back to its original position

Adjust the spring on the bonnet catch. you need a small spanner and a large flat head screw driver.

If you loosen the spring i think the bonnet closes easily :rolleyes:

Also make sure the release handle inside the car is back at the origional position.
