adjusting hood
so i have a problem with my hood, it is too high in the front but on the side it is too low
well here are some pics, if you know how i should try adjusting it that would really help
oh ya, and the head lights rub when they go up....like on the inner side of them....but they are not touching the hood when they are closed
--does this mean i should try moving it back?

Re: adjusting hood
Looks like most of your problem is in the bumper not the hood. The headlight assemblies have lots of adjustments ... too many really. Start by lining up the hood and fenders then get the headlights so they open and close, then do the bumper. I'd take the bumper off and get the hood latch panel and center support up some. Make sure the cover support bracket that goes all the way across is good. Usually there is a little adjustment in the cover itself (sloppy holes) but not much.
Perfection is hard to achieve in this area. And you are working with 20 year old plastic.
Good luck.

Re: adjusting hood
a little better, eh?
-and the right side is missing a screw, i think it will fix it once i replace it
but can someone tell me how to adjust the headlights?
-the drivers is a little low
-the passengers is really high
(the hood is even with the fenders on the sides, the headlights are just messed up?)
any help is appreciated
