Now to help out here is a picture of the 3 bolts you need to loosen to adjust your hood latch

Thank you very much. I was thinking people where talking about the Bolts Holding the Latch on the Hood

This is very helpful.

i hope thats not my issue.

Yeah didnt help much at all.

lmao is that a ascd hood? if it is all i can say is wow, i had the same problem, i could not get enough adjustment to bring that latch up high enough even after using die grinder to open them up even more, i ended up measuring and the loop on the hood was 1/4 shorter than the original hoods loop was, so i contacted ascd about getting another loop and they were rude to me about it and i ended up getting a friend to make me one out of stainless rod and we tapped the threads on the end so it could be bolted up to the hood like the original is. if you reach in the hole there will be 2 8mm iirc nuts that are holding the loop to the hood, they are a pain to get at but it can be done

i got mine from PFYC

There should be a 4th bolt to loosen that extends to the bottom of the radiator support along with those 3 pictured. Loosen all of these, move the bracket up as high as you can get it and tighten them. If the hood still does not close then take it to a body shop to have a second look before you start shaving part of the hood off.

never messed w/ a gp hood. but on my cav. i actually just took out the bump stops. and that was my problem.

ill buy it from u for 100 bucks since u chipped it if u give up on it.
