On my daily i close it half way and Than let go. In my beater car i open it as much as i can and Than slam it as Hard as i can. Latch is not working properly šo sometimes i do it 2-3 times in a row.
It doesn’t really matter as long as your not shutting it harder then it needs to.
Most manufacturers teach techs 6-8 inches above closed then drop it, if doesn’t latch at that height a light push down will suffice. How I’ve been shutting my hood since I started driving (10yrs ago)
I’m gentle. Put it down nicely and then push until it clicks
I drop it a few inches above the bottom. I don’t like to touch my paint, and leave marks.
