You need to readjust it... The latch pin and the bump stops.

Tighten the pin into the bonnet a turn and the rubber baby buggy bumpers out a quarter turn and try again. :y

Just do the adjustments a little at a time - if you adjust it too much in one go making the pin in the latch too tight, then it may be difficult to release with the bonnet pull.
Make sure the pin remains in more or less the same position - moving it too much away from its original position can also make it difficult to release. When you have made some adjustments, try pushing the bonnet down gently against the spring without fully engaging the pin at first, just to ensure the pin is properly locating in the centre of the latch. When you are happy with its position, only then try closing it fully. It should engage in the latch smoothly without much force or effort. If it seems too tight, then readjust it before testing it again. Bonnets can be difficult to open if the pin and latch are out of adjustment!

either that or youve knocked a rubber off ?
the main pin is quite substantial and would take a fair bit to squash
