I got an 05 g35x sedan.
My passenger side hood is rubbing the fender..
The corner of the fender is now bent out of shape and paint is chipping on the fender and the hood. Pics will be up soon.
Ive read that this is caused by a bend hinge.
And to replace the hinge you gotta remove the fender.
Anybody else had this problem?
How hard is it to remove the hinge? what about the fender.?
Does anybody know if there is a way without removing the fender to replace the hinge?
Do i need to take off the hood and put it back on to replace the hinge?
any info would be great.!!!
thanks

 

just realign your hood. that's all. easier if you have two people. open the hood. loosen the bolts. realign. tighten bolts. done.

 

i had this same issue spray white lithium grease on the hinges and it will stop

 

^^^ what he said. I had the same issue, when I first noticed it I was like WTF. It was scraping and rubing and bending the fender. I got some PB Liquid wrench and sprayed the crap out of the bracket and slowly worked the hood up and down, then I hit it with lithium grease now its fine.

The hinges on the g35 are poorly designed and looked like someone from LEGOS constructed it.
