strange to say I have just had to adjust mine !
different reason ....on mine it was almost impossible to pull enough to open the bonnet

as you can see the bonnet pull actually opens the drivers side catch and then there is a cable from there to operate the passengers side catch

so I loosened the cable across the front of the car [ nuts seized solid , probably never adjusted since new ! ] then lubricated the drivers side catch to ensure it protruded enough to catch [ got her indoors to sit in the car and work the lever in and out while doing it ] ....... lubricated the passenger side working the lever by hand , then adjusted the cable across the car so that the catch matched the other side

don't think your problem can be the cable from the pull being stretched as then your problem would be opening the bonnet , not closing it !
