Hood Adustment

How do I adjust this, so that there isn't a gap there?

I have to just push down on the corner and the gap is gone until I open it again. I think my hinges are shot, though.

Your spring/hinge is bad or you need to adjust the spring/hinge down as the frame is slotted to adjust some of that gap out. If the adjustment doesn't get it spend the bucks and get two new springs and hinges- if one is doing it now the other is not far away.

Sometimes lowering the back of the hinge will do it
