How do you close your hoods?

Do you drop it from a certain height, or let it sit, then push it down?

I used to let it sit then push it down, but now I just let it drop down from about 4 inches.

If I never open it, I will never have to worry about how to close it. I check my fluids from underneath.

I put two hands on top of the bonnet and then move it down and the last oh I guess 4-6 inches push it down more so it will close.

I wrestle with it since it's so heavily sprung

With the leon, I just let it fall from 1/2 foot up and it makes that pleasing springy sound.

The VW doesn't have it's hood on

Mine seems to close itself when it gets to about six inches above closed.
