Hi Jin,

The catches on my daughters 2+2 are bent upwards and the header rail
fits as well as I would expect it to.

My hood sits up at the front and I cannot seem to get it to sit down, 
never had this problem with my first 2+2. Mine come straight out.

My catches are straight, When in place the hood sits just a couple of mil above 
the fibreglass. Have you checked the position of the locating blocks?
