    Is it possible to move the hood latch up? I got new fenders and now my lights sit a tad higher as well as my grill. It'll latch but I gotta really press it down to latch

    Yes it can be adjusted, jus loosen the bolts (of the whole assembly) and adjust up or down.

    From the factory service manual:
    The centering bolts are tapered under the head. Regular bolts are flat under the head.
