97 Firebird headlight door alignment problem Hello all,
I bought a 97 Pontiac Firebird Formula about one month ago. The driver's side headlight door is aligned perfectly but the passenger side headlight door sits proud of the hood at the back edge. The leading edge is fine, sitting level with the front bumper/nose assembly.
I've looked it over and can't really see what I can do to make it sit level with the hood.
Anyone out there have experience with this one or has ideas how I can adjust this?

if anything like the 98+ cars there should be a screw or 2 that hold the covers on (with a slotted section of the cover) loosen the screw(s) and get it in position then retighten.
I haven't looked that closely at the pre 98 cars so I don't know for sure if it's the same or not.
