Hood Adjustment Knobs

[WhiteDream26]

In a follow up question regarding the hood alignment knobs, is there a factory default setting as to how far they are turned into the hood or are they just made to be customed turned to however the hood lines up with the front fascia? Another words, off the assembly line, are they turned all the way in against the hood or all the way out or somewhere in between?

In a perfect world, they would be adjusted at final QC. We do not live in that world.

There is no "specified" position for those... so, somewhere in between... they are used solely to get the hood lines right, and one side could be different that the other.

Thank you! You answered my question!

When I first exceeded 70 mph, my hood would vibrate, like in a wind tunnel. After adjusting the rubber bumpers at the front of the hood, it went away. From a different perspective, other than hood alignment.

Yes, that is another function of getting the hood fit right... basically the hood needs proper support from those to keep it lined up to the body and not flutter in the breeze...
