Hood doesn't pop open

The hood on my 2015 stopped popping open when I pull the hood lever. The latch releases/opens, but the hood doesn't pop up the inch or so that it needs to so that I can then press on the safety latch and fully open the hood.

After pulling the inside hood lever, I can use a trim tool and put it just under the hood and pop it up easily. I've tried putting silicone lubricant all over the latch mechanism but still no luck.

I just pull latch and thump corner of hood there at same time, it'll pop up enough to grab hold

Try adjusting bumpers on hood maybe if available
Seems like every one into shop does that,, maybe NHTSA a recall like they did for "my trunk opens,, but not 7 inches" fiasco
My trunk doesn't pop open on the Gen Coupe. They never changed the struts to stronger ones when the added the spoiler on.
