Here's my work around, maybe you have a better approach? Basically I cycle the problem latch: after unlatching, take a screwdriver and manually push the hook to the latched position and then pull the hood release. After that I can just drop the hood from abou 12" it it will latch on both sides.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

I assume you have tried lubrication? It may just be a defective latch.
