    Hood too tight

    Took my hood off for a variety of gen maint on engine and when put back on it sits approx 1/8" - 1/4" lower than fenders. I have played with the hinges but still is sitting low. If I close the hood it is nearly impossible to re-open unless my wife pushes down near the latch and then I am able to pull the hood release from inside the car to release.

    Am I overlooking something here? Is there another adjustment point?

    There are two bolts that hold the latch to the front of the car. Loosen them, move it up an eighth, and retighten

      From the engine bay I see the three bolts that attach to the actual hood but I believe you are referring the actual latch itself? What needs to be removed to get to these two bolts?
