[Chrysler300] hood corners on 58D

["Wayne Graefen" <wgraefen@xxxxxxx>]

Even if the hinges are actually worn enough to require rebuilding, the problem here is more likely in the adjustment.  First try the counter-intuitive thing of putting a single flat washer under the front-most bolt of the hinge-to-hood.  That alone should correct 1/4".  By having the FRONT of the hinge lower when closed, the BACK of the hood is drawn down.

OK,  here is the problem of the week.  I just put the hood on the D.  When the hood is closed, both corners nearest to the windshield see to hang up in the air about 1/4 inch.  When I apply downward pressure on them they go into place and line up with all the other surrounding surfaces.  What am I doing wrong.  This is the 3rd one I've rebuilt and this is the first time for this problem.
