if the good drop does not close it
then you have two things you need to look at 1 when you think it is closed about 16: up the side both sides is the finder higher or lower than the hood. fender lower then drop your hood from about 10: high.
if fender is even and hooh is loose then the two rubber *** looking stops on each side on the front radiater support drop them ONE TURN.,, now if the hood is below the fenders the put those back one turn and look at your latch there are three bolts that will let you adjust it,, turn those bolts about 1/2 turn ,,,you don;t want the latch to fall loose ,,,now tap the latch upward, )))only about 1/16 of a inch thiften the therr bolts if not right keep doing that until you get the hood tight on the stoppers and level with the fenders . good luck,, i have done mine many times. jim
