If you take the catch (the part attatched to the bonnet) off and put some washers between the two surfaces, that should give the catch a little more 'reach'. I needed two washers, but my mate just needed one...
That's what i did anyway, takes a while as you have front to back and side to side adjustment on the catch as well, i marked the original position on the bonnet as a reference when re-fittting.
Hope this helps mate...

i got mine from burton for about 12 quid .
there really easy to fit just bolt them down to where the rubber gromits go what hold your bonnet to the right height and put a bit of grease on top of them.
close the bonnet so u get grease on the bonet where they sit.
drill it fill it ..then screw them down ..its a really east jobs and only tkes couple of hours or so...theres no way my bonnet will pop up now
