Replaced the actuator (easy fix - 10 min. total) and hood/latch assy. now operates according to designed intent.

Thanks for the tip. I am not sure what the process "should" look like. I have sprayed lube into the latch and I still cannot get the hood to close beyond the first latch. Here is a video of the process. See anything obviously wrong?
