Hood Gap Fix
Ever since I went boost my hood has not been lined up with my fender and sticks up too much. It creates a big gap and looks awful but I have no clue what it could be. I haven't touched the hood or how it aligns. Thanks.
If I push down on the hood then it seems to align good but as soon as I let up it goes back to how it was. |

My guess is something is slightly in the way. Do you still have the hood pad? Is it dented?

Adjust the rubber stopper thing under the hood. It turns like a screw and raises or lowers either side front corner.

Does the hood latch fully, and if so does it latch with ease? If it does, the latching mechanism may be too high and isn't holding it down enough.

Sharp got it. Loosen the bolts and move the latch down a hair. I had to do that with mine.

The latch has slotted holes so you can adjust it. The pins you adjust with the nut at the bottom.

The adjustable latch is what that part goes into. Should work exactly the same.

In terms of the adjustment is the aim to get the U shaped piece to go further into the latch? My hood is only sitting up on the one side (the passenger side on a left hand drive car) Thanks again for all the help. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk |
