    I went to "pop" the hood on my 2016 today...and it won't "pop" up. I initially thought the latch didn't release but I was able to open the hood by grabbing the edges. I'm assuming there's some kind of adjustment for this? Anyone have/had this problem?
    Thanks!

    It's possible it's out of adjustment but usually just dirt gets in it and binds it up. How many miles are on the truck?

    Thanks!

    Paint gets stuck on the bumpers. First time it's been opened?

    No, I have had it open several times before this. Today was the first time it didn't have a noticeable pop-up...
