Sorry to jump on post but this is my exact issue n fix, when i push the hood release lever back to closed position the hood can be shut fine , or else no go and hood bounces when you try to close it, what is annoying from what i recall seems to have always been like this...cant be normal eh? Should the release lever in the footwell reseat to its position prior to having been pulled?
