Rattling hood
I cant find a damn thing to tighten the hood down. The hood lock doesnt seem to have an adjuster. Any ideas?
I typed in "Rattling Hood" in the search and apparently nothing comes up.

It appears that inorder for me to get a nice evenness with the hood and the side fenders of the car.. the 1 rubber adjuster on the left has to be tightened all the way and the right adjuster is a little inbetween its full range. I take it the hood is bent because of this and that I can stick my finder in the left side of the grill oppening while the hood is closed and cant stick my other side.
I suppose all i can do now is just find a soft piece of foam or plastic etc etc etc and just put it on the latch so it will tighten up the gap inbetween and still be able to close.
