Hood Adjustment
My hood seems to be “off” at the front wheel arch. Is there a way to adjust this?

Honestly your hood looks fine, it looks level to the top of the 1/4 panel as good as I can tell with the pic. Are you sure it's not your arch ?

I thought so too, but the “arch sag” is equal on both sides...

I will look at mine tomorrow and see if I can see how to adjust it if it can be.

Is the plastic arch seated on the fender or can you push it up to put in in line with the mating arch?

Looks like a couple of shims would do the trick.

Try a couple of gentle taps upwards with a rubber mallet.
