Is Uneven Hood Gaps on Both Sides a Sign of an Accident Vehicle?
1 Answers
Uneven hood gaps on both sides do not necessarily indicate an accident vehicle. Hood Adjustment Method: For situations where the left and right heights of the hood are uneven or the gaps on either side are asymmetrical, the solution is: Loosen the screws of the hood hinge, then shift the hood horizontally to adjust it. After adjustment, also move the bumper and the middle grille accordingly. Hinge Adjustment Method: The left and right gaps can be adjusted; it's just that the hinge wasn't installed with precise adjustment initially. Open the hood, and you will find two U-shaped tongues on each side. Remove the plastic clips on top and adjust one side accordingly. If the issue persists, visit a 4S shop to have a professional mechanic adjust it.
