2014 SC install hood latch issues, showing pics

I noticed this a while back once it was brought up here. I read the PDF, made a pic od someones excellent SC install log etc. Going to look into it tomorrow AM. Or wait till my free oil change/truck check in Oct and tell them to fix it.

 

Almost looks like the grill isn't seated correctly.

 

The grille looks even to me, if you compare it to the headlights and bumper. Aren't there rubber bumpers underneath the hood that controls how high and how low the hood sits?

 

^Agree with this. But, while the bumpers control the height of each front corner, it looks to me that the passenger side of the hood needs to shift back about a 1/4". In pic 3 it looks like the front passenger side corner is past the fender, but the driver side can't be seen for comparison. Are both hood to fender gaps parallel their whole length?

 

Yep more pics tomorrow. I took the bracket off its cut right. The grill seems too low on one side and the hood seems to be lower above the lights on one side.

 

Might of found the fix.

Of course it was here years ago, this place has everything but the winng lotto numbers.

Hai! That's what I mentioned above! Damn I'm good!

 

Yes you are! I never knew they had slots. A closer look, an adjustment to the left/right, all better.

 

Nice! Glad you were able to fix that!
