How to adjust fenders?

How to adjust fenders? Quick question, is there a way to move my fender in or out my loosening or tightning a bolt inside the engine bay. My fender does not line up with my door and there is a small gap between the hood and the fender.
Thanks
Matt

the fender should move around abit after you loosen all the bolts holding the fender to the body.

THanks!

just loosen them all, there a 10mm head I believe, its been a while since Ive removed the fenders. theres one or 2 bolts at the bottom of thefender facing out towards the side of the car behind the front wheel, provided your not one of those people who use that spot for jacking the car up. theres all the bolts including the ones that bolt to the hood hindge, all 10mm and theres a little support rod under the front of the fender infront of the plastic fender well, you can loosen it but I dont know if it really matters.

hope this helps, just loosen every bolt you see connected to the fender.
