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.

Dang. I've seen hoods do that before. Like he said temporary push down on the corner till goes down. The one good thing is you know if anyone has been peep’n under the hood. :p

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
