I recently purchased a 2nd gen hatchback (1992) and the hood is sitting way too high compared to the fender:
I attempted to adjust the hood latch, because when I first got the car, the hood was rattling. The latch was sitting way too low so I brought it up a little bit and now the hood no longer rattles. However, this did not solve my uneven height problem.
The height seems to be uniformly high across the entire hood.
I read somewhere that certain cars have these hood stoppers that you can adjust, but I can't seem to find them on my 2nd gen.
Here are some more photos:
I was looking online at photos of the original bumper and hood and they seem to be the same. Additionally, the car doesn't appear to have been in a wreck, so I'm not sure what could be causing the hood to sit so high.
Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this problem?
Thanks!
