I know there have been a few posts relating to this but I have been unable to find a clear solution. I have a pretty large gap on the passenger side that bugs the s**t out of me and have had the front facia off once before to try and fix it without much luck.
The hood is down as much as possible. I have moved the hood latch down as low as it will go. Still if I push down on the hood when it is closed it will push down maybe another 1/8 of an inch but that isn't going to make a big difference.
I have read of some adjustment that can be made to the piece where the facia bolts to the wheel well. I have located these 2 bolts that when loosened, do allow a little motion to the height. I loosened these and put a jack under the bottom where the coolant bottle is and put some upward pressure on it while I tightened the bolts. It moved upward maybe 1/4 inch. It's better but still not right.
Is there anything I am missing that might close the gap?
Here you can see the gap
And here are my valve covers that I polished while I am waiting to figure this out.
Thanks
