Have you ever opened and closed your hood before you installed the deflector? I didn't when I installed mine and I had the same problem.. had to slam the thing down fairly hard to get it to close. So it bothered me enough to remove the deflector just to try it out.. and guess what.. Same thing. Had to slam it to get the hood to close.. so it's the same either way.. the deflector has nothing to do with the hood not closing easy..
