I goofed - I need some help
My awesome wife bought me a sparks SS grill emblem for christmas - I finally had some spare time to install it today. My big fat hands wouldn't fit through the grill, so I had to remove the shroud....I couldn't get the shroud back on, so I decided to loosen the hood latch (yes, stupid idea). Now my hood isn't flush (it's too low) when I try to close it. I'm 99% sure it wasn't like this before - and I've tried making minor adjustments to the latch, but nothing seems to be working. Any helpful advice on how to re-align the latch properly?

it may be your hood stops .....the 4 black nobs may need adjusted up....it may be the inside ones

adjust the little rubber pieces that you had to take off to take the shroud off. unscrew them a little and you should be ok

I tweaked on the hood stops...and no luck....however, I think I've made some progress. I had the torx bolts tightened pretty tight - I backed those off and now the alignment is reaaaaly close, but it still seems off to me.

I had the same issue when I installed my light bar. Mess with the torx screws and the hood stops. Between the 2 it will work out. I had to loosen the torx a lot more than I thought they should be, but ended up lining up perfectly.
