Bonnet not closing...

Hi my bonnet won’t ‘catch’ as I close it. It’s staying as though it has been popped open. I’ve tried opening and closing the bonnet opener latch inside and pressing down where the U loop is on the bonnet when closing but it isn’t working - does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

thanks
 
I had a nightmare with that when i crushed mine but obviously i bent what it was bolted to as well , everything was repaired to look straight but i think i ended up putting some washers between the catch and the bulkhead moving it forwards a couple of mil
 
had the same problem. i noticed on ours the hinges on the catch were rusty and not moving freely or as freely as they should to fully engage and what would happen is the bonnet would open again after closing. I greased the hinges on the catch and it solved the issue.
