harwood hood adjustment problems

I have a 3" harwood bolt on hood that I can not get adjusted properly. I have played with the hinges many times. The hood sticks up on the driver side about 5/8" at the front edge. Does anyone have ideas on what I can do about it?

Re: harwood hood adjustment problems

Are the side lips of the hood bottoming out on the fender when you close it? Might have to trim the hood some so that it the sides dont go down so far and hit the fenders. I had to trim my harwood 4" hood when i bought it.

yep my Goodmark sat up a hair on the driver side and i just trimmed the rubber piece that is on the inside of the fender.But yeah 5/8" you'll probably have to trim the bottom of the lip on the side of the hood.

good luck Mike
