Rob, in both front corners of the hood (MKI and MKII) there is a black =
rubber bumper. It sounds to me like one of yours is off on a side trip =
some where. These rubber bumpers are threaded and that is how the =
adjustment is accomplished. Turn it out to raise the hood or in to lower =
it. Just remember that the latch will quite likely need a little =
adjustment after raising one side 1/2".
Good luck,
Rick Alexander

Subject: hood alignment
Hey all, my hood has never really been aligned quite =
right(vertically). It follows the contours of the fenders just fine =
looking at it from above, but looking at it straight on the drivers side =
of my hood is a lot lower(probably almost 1/2") than the fender. This =
was never a problem until I installed my euro lights today and shut the =
hood on the drivers side light, breaking most of the adjusters!!! I =
turned the drivers side hood-catch-spring-thing quite a bit, but am not =
noticing much of a difference. How else can I align it?
