Hood Misalignment

[WhiteDream26]

Hi everyone. I posted this issue over a month ago and I'm still having an issue with it. I just can't let it go especially spending the money that I did. I feel like I bought a used car. It's the hood misalignment on my white '26 GT. I brought it to the dealer 3 times and all they did was adjust the knobs under the hood to level it out which is what I also tried. It's still off. I don't know what else to do. If it matters, I am leasing this car. So my questions are, what would you do? Does anybody else have this issue? And if you do, haver you had to turn the knobs under the hood to get it to line up? Also if anybody knows, do those knobs come completely out if you loosen them all the way or are they locked in somehow. This isn't sitting well with me and I'm having a hard time living with it. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Does that dealer have a body shop attached to it?
If not youre going to the wrong dealer....

Im curious to see if other comment that their cars are similar.
I had alignment issues on my 25 f150, hood, panel above front bumper to driver side fender.
Dealer I worked at for 32 years has a bodyshop attached to the dealer & they took care of it under warranty.

Do you plan on buying out the lease, or just turning it in?

Looks like the driver side middle area of the front clip is what may need adjustment & not the hood.

But these are mass produced cars, it aint a Ferrari...

Go look at other mustangs on the lot & compare the gap.
It may be a case of, it is what it is....

It's hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like the hood stops are adjusted too far out and are holding the outer sides of the hood up.
