    Hood too low in the front?

    Like the title says, my new hood has been depressed in the front towards the grill. Whats the easiest way to fix it? Ive tried to adjust it up front but that hasnt really done anything

    Cory, you might want to pull the grilles and loosen the actual hood latch to allow it to move . Soon as you get everything lined up, retighten as needed.

    GL!

      did you manage to fix it???
      i just adjusted mine..it was leaning towards one side and the other side was a bit on the high side......easiest thing to do if its low is, open the hood, but just leave it open dont pull the hood up. then untighten the hood latch from the radiator support push the hood up a bit, and retighten it, repeat until you achieve the height you are happy with
      you might need someones help to help you either pull up the hood while you tighten back the latch
