glasstech hood install problem
glasstech hood install problem while the hood lines up pretty nice on each side but there are a couple of problems:
1. Before I installed the hood latch & release lever the hood is slightly too far back on the passenger side (3/16") yet both sides are evenly spaced.
2. When I installed the latch & release lever the hood on the passenger side doesn't go all the way down flush even with the fender. I've removed the 2 rubber, round "stops" and it improved somewhat. also, when I do close the hood all the way down the hook doesn't want to release.
Sound familiar?
thanks,

Have you tried to adjust the hood latch? This can be adjusted on each side(two bolts hold it in place) or you can lower the whole thing. I wouldn't try dropping it too much on one side because your hood clip won't fall into the latch correctly. I installed a SS hood on my Camaro this weekend and I had to adjust the latch because my hood was too low, it was below the lines of the fenders. Hope this helps.
