I have this problem as well. You need to move the hood down further towards the front fascia. There are 2 hinges for the hood. You slightly loosen the 4 bolts on each hinge attaching to the hood. Then close the hood but don't latch it. To do that I layed a folded up towel over the latch and wipers to cushion the latch. Then you gently tap or push the hood down until you get proper alignment in the front. Then _gently_ open the hood again and tighten up the bolts. You may or may not need to also detach the struts at the hood. You must have another person if you're going to detach the struts, and it's good to have an extra hand for the whole thing if you can. On my car I ran into an additional problem. One of my hinges is bent up at a higher angle than the other preventing that side from going as far forward. So one side aligns well in the front and the other has extra gap. I tried bending it on the car (after removing the hood completely) but was afraid to force it and break the attachment point on the fiberglass. One day I'll remove the hinge itself (when removing the facia) and then bend it for proper fit. Oh well. shiraz --- In dmcnews@xxxx, Willie Mack <wmack@xxxx> wrote: > > > Has anyone else had any problems with the hood hitting the windshield wipers > when you try to close it.
