Re-aligning hood?

Website · Post by **Desire1314** » Tue Sep 28, 2010 4:46 pm

I guess I messed up the alignment of hood one day when i left my nano sitting under it, near where the strut tower bar is (that little gap) and closed the hood. It only left a little blemish on my nano, surprisingly didn't crack it or anything, Guess I shouldn't keep the reefer anywhere nearby when working on the car...

How would you go about re-aligning the hood? Would I have to take it off?

You can see the gap between my hood and bumper in the center.

That small gap is on all Altima Coupe's that I've seen.

Really? I've never noticed it until after that incident.

there's two rubber stoppers near the front of the hood which can be adjusted. if you want the hood to sit lower you can screw the stoppers all the way in, unless they're already fully in. my car is uneven, one of them is all the way in and one is halfway in to make it straight.

I'll give that a try, thanks for the help.

Sweet, I'm doing it. Minor aerodynamic improvements ftw!
