NRG hood dampers

I just installed my NRG hood dampers and I noticed some rubbing between the fender and the hood on the passenger side is there any way to fix it?

Is it right on the corner of the fender up near the windshield? If so, I don't think it's a problem with the hood damper, I think it's the hood hinges. I just had this problem on my Coupe. Apparently our hood hinges need to be periodically lubed, otherwise the friction will cause them to bind, which in turn will cause them to bend and finally cause the hood to rub on the fender.

Yes, if they are not bent or at least not too much. And use a good lithium spray grease, not WD40.
