Hood Adjustment?

My hood sticks up about 1/4" in the back by the windshield. I can push it down flush, but it comes back up on it's own. Is there any way to adjust this so it's flush with the cowl? If so, what do I do?

Thanks very much.

The back of your ninges need to adjusted down. If that don't pull it down you need new hinges.

Don't just adjust them and slam your hood. Make sure you have clearance between you hood and cowl.
