It needs adjusted. You do so at the hinge at the front.

yeah, that's it...good way to bend the hood.. :-) check the rubber stoppers on either side on the rad support you can finger turn them down or up. try those first.

It needs to be adjusted. It takes forever to get it right. You need a Friend to help you.

how do you adjust it? from the front or the back of the hood?

In the front by the kidney grill It's a pain in the ass you have to loosen the bolts and press it down from.the side It's sticking out and tighten it and re do it until It's aligned to your liking

I had the same issue,what I did is I lossened the hardware then just snugged them down just enough to hold the hood then tweaked the hood so that it would close properly then when it did so I used a 1/4" ratchet and tightened them down to keep the hoods adjustment.i used a 1/4" so I didnt break the bolts.i dono if this helps but good luck
