adjusting hood gap

[boldtu]

I tried to adjust the hood gap with the angled plate on the driver's side that is bolted to the hood

I figured that the cam that closes the hood would push down harder and make close all the way like the passenger side

it didnt

does anyone have any tips on this

thanks,

chet

Some minor adjustments may be required if you replace your cowl side seals and center weatherstrip on the underside of the hood. The latch will be much harder to pull.

I have made some revisions to the article, a few things I have learned since. It is not by any means perfect, so if anybody finds a better way or discovers a trick, let me know!
