    Hood adjust side to side?

    Finally got tired of my hood being out of adjustment. Got the front to back done (very simple) and the up and down done (hard to figure out, it was the hinges needed to adjust) but now the side to side.

    It's me again, I discovered something interesting that I like to share with you. I opened my trunk and put my stick in place to hold it open and left it for about 48 hours. This morning I took it out and the trunk lid stayed open, so I closed the trunk and started the car and wa-la the top...
