Default Hood Adjustment?

I noticed the passenger side of the hood is not the same as the driver's side - it is higher. Is there an easy adjustment?

Ask the dealer to fix

If the screw-in rubber bumper stops between hood and fenders are not equal in height, it is a quick and easy fix.

If you find them out of adjustment and are REALLY fussy, put some play-doh or planters clay on the bumpers.

Closing the hood should deform the clay to the same thickness each side.

Closing this off: turns out the passenger side hood latch was defective. Dealer will replace under warranty (when they get the part)
