1952 Buick Hood Latches coming loose!
 

I have a 1952 Buick Super sedan. The car is not my style at all. I like more of the hot rod and street rod style. However, there is something about this car that I just love. It is totally stock with dynoflow transmission and the original straight eight engine. It starts great, runs great and rides like a dream. My problem is the hood latches. It has the side opening hood. Either side can be opened with the latch depending which side of the engine you need to work on. I am having problems keeping the latches locked while driving the car. I have the latches clean and lubricated very well. I always line up the pins with the latches and seat the hood down as firmly as possible and it appears that it is latched completely. But if I meet a truck or any other large vehicle on the road, it tries to pull the hood off the car. I have had to stop many times and put the hood back in place. Don't want to loose the hood or break the windshield. Anyone have any experience with this problem?
