Evening all
A Class 2010 model, when closed I can very slightly lift the bonnet up and down a few mill while it’s engaged in the lock. Doesn’t do it on the other A class we have. Can’t see any adjustment points to make it solid.
Any suggestions. Thanks.

On most cars there is large headed threaded rubber / plastic screws that can be screwed in out of the bonnet or slam panel that can be used to align the height of the bonnet and to take up any excess movement , like you have.

Be careful not to put too much tension on the latch as it makes the bonnet hard to open.

Adjustment may be like item 1 below:
