Bonnet catch pops occasionally, drivers side.
This is a bit weird, but occasionally I notice that the drivers side bonnet has popped up, so is a few mm ajar. Usually I just push it down firmly and it latches properly - or seems to.
Occasionally, if the weather is good, I open it up have a look for anything unusual, give it a squirt of lubricant and make sure it's closing, securing and releasing properly. Always seems fine.  Something presumably isn't quite adjusted right so it springs open when driving (vigorously?), but what? Where would you start? Could it be something as trivial as a bit of wear on the catch or the rod that pokes down into the mechanism. Can those be rotated or swapped L to R?
