Hood coming up

My hood seems to rise while driving down the road, almost as if the hood wasn't latched. This has been happening for a couple years now, just getting on my nerves. I have checked the bolts and they are tight, and the hood is not warped. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? Please reply here or email me: n8tvtxn@usa.com

Hood pops up

It's actually not the whole hood, only the left hand corner (looking out while driving). It seems to look warped but I know it isn't since I have never wrecked the car nor does anyone sit on my hood.
