OK - standing directly in front of the car, when I glance at the "seam" of the hood as it goes along the quarter panel and down to the headlights, the hood is level with the quarter panel and of a constant gap right up until it reaches the headlight area. At that point, the gap seems to widen to double the normal width and is now actually *below* the level of the quarter panel. It looks like hell - certainly not like the precision I'd expect on even a Honda Civic.

I could swear it wasn't like this when the car was new (my new-car photos don't show anything odd), so I'm thinking the only thing that could cause this is, when I close the hood, I let it drop from about 6" rather than push it down with my hands.

The problem is more prominent on the driver side.

Anyone else have this problem? What can be done about it -- some sort of adjustment in the hood latches?

should be the same also. Plus the hood should be just barely touching the top of the bumper.

vibrate in effectively lowering the closed hood height. Adjust these back up until the closed hood aligns with the fender.
