Help with adjusting hood
Is it possible to adjust the hood on a ws6? The gap on the drivers side between the hood and fender is significantly wider than that on the passender side. What can I do so the gaps look even? Thanks.

Re: Help with adjusting hood
All you have to do is when the hood is popped you know those 4 bolts(2 on each side) toward the windshield. Just loosen those up, not all the way otherwise you will have a problem with the hood sliding down and the ends to pop up. Anyway loosen those up a little just enough where it takes some force to move the hood back and forth, just move the hood to the side you want to match up. Set the hood down on the latch to see how close you are and once it's the way you want it just tighten up the bolts and shut the hood.

Re: Help with adjusting hood
Thanks for the response. Just to make sure I know what bolts you are talking about, they are the 2 bolts on each side that go into the underside of the hood which hold a bracket that is connected to the hood hinges? Also, I am not sure what you mean by the hood sliding down and the ends poping up? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Yes those are what I'm talking about. I meant to say that the lower end of the hood can slide down and cause it to get caught on the inner fenders when trying to close it. Also where the hinges are that hold the hood on, if loosened to much the hood will seperate from them and lift off of it making it difficult to re align.
