Never did it but the powerdome is so much heavier I doubt that a latch for an aluminum hood would push it up. That little leaf style spring is what gives it the initial nudge.

Any chance to nab a latch from a "powerdome"? I bet the spring is like 5 times thicker.

For giggles try loosening the rubber stops by screwing them downward to see if it is just too tight of a release or if it indeed needs tougher spring.

Hope yours work, mine were so locked up I had to replace them both.
