Hi Mike, it still mystifies me that the procedure is not in the manuals.
Thanks,
Dennis

  Dennis,  There is nothing simple in hood adjustment. Are the hinges in good shape? Without major wear? Once you know you are not fighting loose hinges it is a matter of up and down adjustment of the hinge mounting bolts. The rear bolts have a small amount of movement, the front have more. Problem is the effect of a slight change can be big. Mark your hinge bolt postion before you start so you can see where you started. Make little adjustments. Good luck.

    Hi Guys,

    When trying to adjust my hood so the back edge aligns with the cowl, I grabbed my GM Body Service Manual and GM Assembly Manual to check out how the factory tells us to do it.  At present the hood is about 1/4" higher.  But... they do not address the issue at all.  Am I missing a chapter?  Is there a simple procedure?

    Thanks,
