I can't figure out why this is happening? The front of the hood on the drivers side keeps popping up. It sits right if you push on it, but once you drive it it pops up enough to put a good gap between the headlight and hood. I don't see anything hitting it, maybe theres an adjustment?

Squirt a little WD40 on the latches. Mine does that too after a few months. The latches get dry. They almost latch, seem to catch, but will release when you rattle them by driving.
Do not use the WD40 on the hinges!

Do you have a picture of exactly which part should be sprayed?
Have you tried adjusting the rubber "bumpers" a small amount...say, turning the left one down a quarter or half a turn?? The latch may be next step...but be sure to mark the starting points first...and, move them ever so slightly.
A "search" may be helpful.
