    Default Adjusting hood height?

    I am a perfectionist and I feel that my hood sits about 1/16" too low toward the windshield. How do I raise that side up? I know the raises with a set of rubber stoppers.

    Default To adjust the height

    for the windshield side, the ramp like catches next the the electrical boxes. loosen the bolts and they side around.

    Front, the latch catch rotates and the rubber snubs take up the slack


    Vee ave vays of dealing vid your kind...........

    What about moving the hood back and forth?

    There's a little latch inside the cabin down under the dash. Pull it towards the rear and the hood will move forward. Pushing the hood from the front when outside the car will move it backward

    Sorry I just couldn't resist!

    I put two washer underneath the bolts to raise the height near the windscreen, maybe they are 2mm each, there's enough thread left on the bolt for it to stay in place.
