Default hood latch broken

I have a 1995 Civic EX and my hood latch wont latch, i tried spraying some WD-40 on it thinking it might be rust in the latch but that didnt help. Has anyone else had this problem, or know a solution to it, besides buying a new latch?

Take it off and clean it really well.
Perhaps one of the springs broke, but I doubt it.
