Hood that doesn't latch and pass door permanently locked

[Crazy_pilot]

The hood of my new SVX doesn't want to latch. The smaller finger latch works fine, but the main latch won't catch the hood rod. The latch will close, I've pushed it closed with a screwdriver and it locked fine, but it's like the hood's rod doesn't reach far enough down to get the latch to engage. Can the latch be pulled up at all? Any other ideas?

Also, the passenger door lock is stuck in the locked position. To open the door you have to push the lock tab inside up and hold it while you open the door. It falls back into the locked position as soon as you let go. Any thoughts?

Nevermind the hood question, I solved it on my own. Pulled the grill off and loosened the bolts, and the latch can indeed be moved up a bit. The hood latches fine now.

Check out my thread on the door lock issue. I also have some pics in my locker of the latch assembly. Its a pain in the a$$.
Good luck

I took the door apart and looked at things. The power lock regulator was jammed in the "lock" position. I just took the regulator out, so no power locks. It works fine manual.

I'll put the power locks back in eventually, I just need it working so it'll pass safety. Aparently you have to be able to open the door easily from the inside.

My hood would not latch and it was from the two rubber bump stops needed adjusting. Only a 1/4 turn in and the hood closed fine. No problem with the hood/fender gaps.
