I have one side hood latch that releases and the other one is somewhat reluctant. No amount of lubrication (cleaning/lubing), or pin alignment have a positive effect. It's something I have learned to live with: pull hood release lever, get out and pull up on driver's side of hood, pull hood release lever again, release safety catch and you have an open hood.
I just count the extra steps and effort as cardio so I can have another donut later in the day...
