If not mistaken the hood bumpers are adjustable. Simple turn them counter clockwise to bring them up.
Grab on it and turn it hard. It will adjust. My driver side moved easily but passenger was a little trickier.
my arrow points to front and I don’t have the plate underneath mine. It won’t adjust
Yes there is. Hood struts run out of steam near the bottom of travel.With the hood struts, there isn't enough weight of the aluminum hood to get it to latch on its own.
Actually, at this point at least, my struts will not let it fall under its own weight. I agree that all it takes is a little help (not let it slow to a stop) and it closes on its own.Yes there is. Hood struts run out of steam near the bottom of travel.
Hey y’all do your thing, just don’t be mad when you get dents.
Yep, I finally got back out there and they do turn and adjust. Sorry for the "mis-speaking" earlier. .Grab on it and turn it hard. It will adjust. My driver side moved easily but passenger was a little trickier.
I can verify the hood dents easy. I already had a dent removed by PDR (caused most likely by a ball, but unknown for sure). I am very careful when washing, waxing, etc the hood to be gentle.Actually, at this point at least, my struts will not let it fall under its own weight.

Totally agree with the dent risk and even with the front crease acting as a stiffener, I can see the AL giving and bending in if I am doing the "close with the palms pushing down on the hood, after had closed past the safety catch".
Someone find something else to check quick. This way Bill won't have to go to PT tonight since he's been in and out of his damn garage 6 times already today. ?Oh maaaan! Here I go again, hobbling out with the walker to check my hood.
I thought sure I closed it by dropping it after I installed my struts. ?
As we were finishing up, my PT person said, “you will be sore tomorrow, so don’t freak out.” I said, “I was going to be sore tomorrow, before I came here.” Pretty sure she thinks I am a sissy, which of course is accurate.Someone find something else to check quick.

You think you're sore now just wait until your coach gets ahold of you. She'll have no mercy.As we were finishing up, my PT person said, “you will be sore tomorrow, so don’t freak out.” I said, “I was going to be sore tomorrow, before I came here.” Pretty sure she thinks I am a sissy, which of course is accurate.

You should just cancel the rest of your PT appointments this week. We'll find plenty of things to keep you busy. ?
