The hood certainly isn't gapped very well and the front corner on one side is too high but I think I will leave all that for the painter to fix.
If you give the hood latch brackets a concave shape instead of flat (or convex/rounded shape like the manual shows), the hood latches will stay in a closed position without being locked. I started off rounding per the manual, and the latches would rotate to the open position. Needed to use the key/lock to keep the hood tightly closed.
