I just checked the FSM about adjusting your hood, but it sounds like you
covered everything, but I wonder what sequence you did it in. The FSM
mentions that you should:
- Loosen the hinge arm-to-hood panel bolts at each side of the vehicle.
- Loosen the hood latch screws.
- Close the hood. Adjust the fore/aft position.
- Raise the hood. Tighten the hinge arm-to-hood panel bolts.
- Tighten the latch screws.
- Lower the hood. Inspect clearance between hood and cowl cover.
Try it again in this sequence and see if that makes any difference. I
find it hard to believe that the arms bent from frame flexing. Also I would
think if the hood was bent it would be obvious. Hope this helps.
