well ive had this problem for a while , barley noticable but yah know if you know its there its gonna bug you lol but anywho my hood dosnt shut all the way , i mean it latches and stuff but instead of being completely shut theres about half an inch of play with the hood "shut" and i took it to the dealership * a long time ago* and they said there was a different type of bolt holding on the latch so it cant be fixed under warrenty , so i was just wondering if anybody else had this problem ? and if so howd you fisx it

im dumb but not that dumb i adjusted the hood latch and the the lil rubber things and than my teacher checked on what i did and he said it should close but i think somehow my hood got warped... which confuses me but hey whatever right?

There is nothing wrong with having to drop you hood a preset distance to close it. That just means that the hood is getting a complete tight seal.

Agreed, you really shouldn't have to drop a hood to close it. Just gently press on it, helps with not making nicks and stuff on the hood latch.
