Can anybody remedy this alignment problem? These shots are from the driver side, looking up on the fender to the hood. First shows the back corner. I'm not sure why these are raised (like this on both sides). Not real sure how to get them down unless the bottom part of the hinge has some adjustment. Second shot is the hood raised over the fender. It's only like this on the driver side. Hood stop is all the way down. Reckon the hood has slightly warped this way?
It took me a good 2 hours to get mine right. The hood stops in the front are more for minor adjustments once you get the hinges/struts right. Try undoing the 2 hinge bolts and the 2 strut bolts and starting over on both sides. Thats what helped me the most. Its all trial and error. Once you get the sides right you can adjust the stops up/down for minor tweaking. Wish there was more i could say to help. Good luck.

I think I've exhausted my options as I have had the hinge bolts and the strut bolts undone to get this far. Looks better than it did, but still pretty bad. No adjustment on the bottom part of the hinges?
