Adjusting hood
« on: October 01, 2016 - 04:15:40 PM »
Hood fit good before I removed it but forgot to mark how the hinges were set. The passenger side near the cowl is below the fender line. The hinge at the inner fender cannot move down any lower. How do I adjust it?

Confused a bit...The hood is low at the cowl, and the hinge can't go lower ? :clueless: Wouldn't you want it hinge to go higher ?
