Default Need help with hood\bumper allignment?

Just bought this car. IT was in a front end accident and the after looking at hood it looks like it needs to come down on the one side a little farther to be more in line. Is there anything I can do to try to fix this, thanks Barry

Its very simple fix!
Just pop the hood unbolt the left side of the hood(2 X10mm bolts i think) and adjust . this job will need a friend. Very simple . Good luck

You can also try twisting the round rubber stopper under the front side of the hood. If you twist it in, it should lower the front end if that's what's keeping it from closing all the way.

If it's an issue with the alignment of the bumper itself you may have to get more involved in fixing it.

The problem is that its perfectly inline at the top of the hood near the windshield. It's just the front left corner, if you are looking at the picture. The rubber adjustment isn't even touching, it's already adjust as much as it can. IS it possible to lower the hood lock in the front, so the whole hood comes down farther and then push the right side of the fender up with the stopper?

Yes. The hood latch behind the bumper has three screws on it that allow for adjustment. Loosen up those three screws and tap ti down as far as it will go then tighten them back up. You might not even have to remove the bumper.
