headlight bumper alignment issues...

**rudtf** · 10-05-2008 03:01 PM

ok so i was driving my friends car while she was driving mine and i got a chance to finally see my car from another perspective. while checking her out.. i noticed that the front hood looks like it's open a bit. after getting out... i noticed it's not as flush to the hood and bumper as i see in other pics. how can i get this aligned? when i clear cornered... i made sure not to touch the two spindle things that adjust the height of the bumper. what can it be?

This has happened to a lot of people.
Even though they don't touch the two adjusting screws for the bumper the bumper will always look a bit off when put back on.
From what I hear the only way to readjust it is to take the bumper off, or you could take it to the dealer to readjust it for you for about $100.

there should be the rubber feet on the hood itself. Those adjust. It should be near the corner of the hood. Turn it clockwise, i think. You'll figure it out.

Or it's your bumper :(

Actually that does look like its just your hood....your gap is nowhere near as large as mine, but your hood does look a little too raised.

just checked the rubber pieces and all four are as tight as they go... although it does it does look as though the hoods a bit higher than the side. are there more than four adjusting pieces?

i'm thinking maybe the headlight housing isn't set properly... should the piece in the red circle go into the slot in the yellow circle?

here is the original piece incase you can't see it with the circles
