I have a hood adjustment problem that i can't seem to get right .I have adjusted just about every combo that i can think of on the bolts ,is there something i'm missing or would replacing the hinges help or do i need to do something else?I was trying to get this corrected before i continue on with other body issues.Thanks

does it allow you to lightly push the back down when you have the hood closed?....if so the hinges may just be dry (need lube) and binding somewhat.....otherwise they may also be worn out like you illuded to. :Twocents:

Try this - snug the front bolt where the hinge bolts to the inner fender, loosen the rear bolts a little and have someone push the hood open till the back of the hinge drops, then tighten the rear bolts.
You may have to raise the front of the hinge slightly if you don't get any movement on the rear bolts.
