    hood not sitting flat

    hi guys, my hood doesn't sit flush anymore. It looks like it happened after i got some transmission work done at a local shop. What could of happened to cause this? Is it the radiator support? Any easy way for fixing it?

    thanks

    is it sitting too high or too low? You can try turning the lil rubber adjusters that are by the headlights.

    try turning the adjusters all the way down. and if that doesnt help its probably your rad. support. If they messed that up you can probably tell my looking under your car and the support will be bent up. I'd take it back to the shop and tell them and they should fix it for you.

    you can bend it back fairly easy. I accidentally bent mine once and my support was bent pretty good. I just got under the car and used a crowbar and carefully bent back into place. Just make sure you dont mess up the radiator doing it.
