Keep hood open!!! If it sticks in the closed position you will be enjoying the phrase "I wish my hands were smaller" while disassembling everything!! Don't end up like I did.... Clean all old grime from the latch holes and open the plastic barrel connectors on the cable, clean the dirt out of them and the sleeves with wd40 (including every area where you can get to the cable.) Spray an ass load of silicone lubricant dust resistant type in the same spots. Work the hell out of the latch inside, test that the latches are springing into the lock position before closing the hood. Sent from my SM-A528B using Tapatalk

PS. Remember that regular WD40 will attract moisture....

WD-40 is mostly a mix of baby oil (mineral oil), Vaseline (petroleum jelly), and the chemical used inside Decane
Decane: WD-40 contains an abundance of these alkanes—hydrocarbons that match the formula CxH2x+2, usually in a long, zigzagging chain. This one, C10H22, which is also a common ingredient of gasoline, helps WD-40 remain a liquid at cold temperatures. Decane doesn't freeze until around -21 degrees Fahrenheit. WD-40 is hygroscopic*and may attract unwanted moisture once the propellant disperses and as anyone who has added some water to mineral oil and shaken can see the cloudiness forming showing mixing of the two, also WD-40 doesn't have enough lubrication properties to be useful on gears or bearings for long term lubrication.
