Hi great thread I've been enjoying finding it today. Good luck on it and it sounds like you learned the right attitude as far as what is a reasonable progress speed. Hood spring. Who's ever heard of a spring getting stiffer over time, especially one that's perpetually compressed? How do the corner rubber stops look? Are they adjusted to have a good panel gap? It could be they're a little too high and there's not enough flex in the hood to reach properly, but based on it working without the spring then I doubt it. How hard are you closing it? Does it work if you push down on the center like you're giving it a chest compression? A smaller spring may provide a better close but at the cost of it not holding down tightly and rattling when you drive. I'd hit the whole mechanism with silicone spray lube, which I use for all of my moving parts exposed to weather, and see how it works. Operate it and really work the spray lube in.
