I just installed a VIS carbon fiber hood[u] with the vents and the one and only problem that I have during installation is that it doesn't lock even though it closes to proper fiitment. I concluded that maybe that the hook that's attached on the hood may be too short, which means it may not be reaching far enough into the latch in order to lock. Has anyone installed this type of hood before and encountered the same problem as I? If so, what did you do to correct it?

I had the same problem. you have to loosen the two nuts on the hood latch and raise it as high up as possible. i still had to give it a strong push to close it though, dont worry the hood is very strong.
