If you look further towards the end of the linked thread, DarkZero pointed out that it's the lower tab that's the problem. It's basically the hood button not functioning like it should and when extra force is applied, it either bends or breaks the plastic.
From my own understanding of the situation (from playing around with my malfunctioning BB), if the hood button was functioning properly, then the lower tab would pull back causing the hood to release. When the tab is bent (which happened in my case) or broken, the hood will not stay in place when BB is in vehicle form.
The only way to fix it from that point is to remove the spring from the hood.
