I could add extra rubber or spacers to the latches, but I don't want to have to lift up the hood shelves to reach the nut holding the engine side bolt. The other two bolts go through the frame and could be replaced with longer ones easily. It might be possible to take the engine-side bolt out and replace it with a longer one without having to lift the shelf. I will look at it again tomorrow.
