    So I opened the Engine Compartment Hood and tried to close it by holding it approx 20 cm from open and letting it drop. Still feels like there is a little give - don’t think it’s fully closed and don’t want to slam it shut because of the huge window!

    Ive noticed on my coupe that while the deck lid is adjusted and latched properly that there is some "flex movement" along the length of the lid. Been that way and it doesn't appear to be anything to prevent it.

    Try starting the car, if the deck lid is open I think either won't start or won't go into gear (assuming you have a F1).

    Speaking of lids, remember to push down on the emblem when closing the front lid.

    My 360 was the same. When latched there was play, you could the lid vibrating up and down in the rear view mirror while driving. There are shim plates under the latch (on the lid from memory) I took one out and it tightened up nicely.
    Oh and I would not push down. The drop method is more recommended. But yes push down on the emblem for the front.

    You may have to adjust the cable. Mine was coming completely unlatched while driving. Simple adjustment to shorten or lengthen the cable. If you do make an adjustment, recommend testing the emergency hood release before closing the hood.
