sagging hood

my hood sits about 1/2" below the tops of my fenders and I noticed there are slots in the fender which I am guessing is for some type of support. Anyone have a part # or name or know where I can get some of those clips?thanks

Not sure what I am looking for on the hinges, as they work properly. So I guess there are not slots on anyone's fenders? I actually slid a couple body fasteners in the slots and it fixed the problem but they look out of place which is why I thought there was an actual part that went there.

Re: sagging hood

You looking for these? (last item in list) ...

These are actually meant to stop rattling and squeaking, but they may help with your problem.

Just in case this helps someone else, after further inspection the fenders were misaligned and after "squeezing" them in the hood fits fine.
