Yes there is. Every six months grease both bonnet lock catch openings in the slam panel using a good quality heavy grease - put the same stuff on the actual catches attached to the bonnet underside. the root cause you see is the catch mechanism drying out and sticking. If greased regularly then the risk is greatly reduced.
