Hood slightly slanted

[mikevar94]

So check this out. When looking at my dsm head on the hood is perfectly flush with the passenger side fender but on the drivers side it sits a little low. It's really slight and not very noticeable but it bugs me so much. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? I tried spinning those rubber "caps" on the inside of the bay but the one on the drivers side cannot be screwed out anymore without being taken out completely.

You could raise the rear with a couple washers, and should make the front sit lower?

Possibly screw the other side in? Maybe its getting pushed up more on that side that it slants. Are all the gaps between the hood and fender equal?

both my 2g's are like that too. if ya look at some of the cars in other members gallery you will notice others have same gap

I had the same problem with my old 2g too. Was never able to find a fix for it.

Washers may be a good idea. Wouldn't hurt to try.

Had the same problem
Add some washers simple fix
U might have to adjust the hood latch for it wont pop after adjustments are made

Yeah I'll try and stick some washers in there. I tried lowering the rubber cap on the passenger side hoping it would raise the other side up and even it out but it doesn't work. And no I believe the gap between the hood and fenders are both equal and look about normal. It's just frustrating when I see it like this

the last guess I have is that the hinges got tweaked a little when it was propped up. Since it is only held up on one side, if the wind blew, the prop would be a pivot point and the opposite side would shift a little. Maybe prop it up and and give it a little twist in the the opposite direction.

i used some washers and it worked well.

I was going to post this good question! I adjusted my fenders to fix the problem on mine but washers should definitely do the trick!
