Re: Hood and Fender Alignment

There is actually a thread on here somewhere about this issue. I read it and took the advice. Fixed mine.
But, loosen the bolts holding the spring to the fender, push the front of the hood as far up as it will go and hold it. This picks up the front of the hinge and forces the back of the hinge down. Tighten the bolts. As I said, fixed mine and it looked exactly like yours.

X2 It kind of pre-loads the spring so it can pull down as designed...
