Could someone, please tell me the torque spec for the hood latch bolts (red arrows).
Thank you!

It doesn't seem like a critical part that needs to be torqued. Just tighten it with a ratchet and be done with it.

Yep, I just didn't want to overtorque the bolts so I ended up snugging them up about the same as they were with a 10mm wrench.
I wouldn't have had to do it if the hood wasn't so poorly adjusted at the factory.
"Quality is Job One" no longer exists from what I'm seeing. Sad.

Yup - I have misaligned doors I need to adjust.

I think that I have to keep my sense of humor after buying a Ford that costs more than a new Lincoln Continental and is a do it yoursef kit.
