The hood latch can be adjusted as described in the Bentley or Haynes
manuals.  Basically, you use a 13mm box wrench to slightly loosen the nut at
the base of the post that is on the hood (this post engages the latch on the
body).  Once loosened, use a flat-head screwdriver in the slot on the post
to rotate it like a normal bolt.  The process is very much like what you
would do to adjust a valve!  Once shortened or lengthened the amount you
want you just tighten the lock bolt.

With my 2-piece bra it required loosening 5 full turns.  However, yours may
be different to get a proper seal yet allow the hood to still open without
putting too much stress on the unlocking cable.
