Do we have a DIY/FAQ for realigning the hood? Tried search and google and can't seem to find anything usable.

Links.. suggestions? Thanks.

 

hey man i had the same prob. if your talkin about when you open your hood and it catches your upper fender near your windshield then yep i had the same issue, so heres what i did, i loosend all four bolts on the hood and then just pulled the hood towards me and that was well over 3 months ago and havent had a problem since. if this helps or you need more info just let me know.

 

i had the same problem. dealer replaced the hinges under warranty

 

It's not really dealer's fault. hood has been repainted and body shop didn't align the hood correctly. I don't real with them anymore so i just need to align it myself. My issue is that the space between the bumper and the hood (right next to the grille) on one side is smaller than the space on the other side of the grille between bumper and hood.

 

funny i have this same problem on the same corner, maybe i'll play with it when im working on my car next time.

 

I have the same problem...but I did it myself...I was cleaning the window and was screwing with the wipers and when I closed the hood, one of the wipers got caught when I closed the hood and snapped the wiper off and it screwed up my hinges...me and my friend tried to line it up as best we could but it still pinched the fender a little...I was just in for a oil change last week and the guy said the would replace the hinges for free...though it has been like that for over a year??? but they did say they would do it for free.....those service guys are nut jobs...every time I go in they try and squeeze more money from me...I just tell them I'll do it myself....

 

*sigh*... I feel people are contributing less and less real helpful data on these forums....


Here is the info from the 05 coupe factory service manual:

 

LOL, I searched my PDF service manual for "hood" and didn't get anything like this. I have the "05-06 Coupe" version. Thanks for posting that though, because I was surprised they didn't have anything on that in the manual.

 

BL Section, Body Lock and Security System.

This is the Factory Service Manual, not an owners manual or service manual

 

hmm i need to get my hands on that

 

I had the same problem except it is so bad it bent my fenders this morning! My car is still under bumper-to-bumper warranty will the dealer take care of it?!!?

 

I see it talking about the "Hood Lock Assembly"...where is this located at?
