Hi all

my fd light on the right isnt flush with the bonnet when closed - is there an adjustment to pull it down slightly?

it sits up from the bonnet about 5mm but its very noticable

 

You mean the headlight cover? There are four screws holding it on. Loosen those and use a credit card or another flat surface to ensure that everything is level. You have to remove the front shroud to get to the two front screws. Careful though. The plastic is SUPER frail. Take your time here and don't over tighten the cover when you're done. Good luck!

 

yeah the left pop up headlight cover is flush when lights are down. the right sits high when lights are down - is there adjustment when i remove the screws?

sorry new owner!

whats the front shroud?

 

front shroud: Run your headlights up, look at the front of them. there is a black plastic shroud around the glass. This has to come off to see the bolts one above here mentioned.

 

Pics are worth 1000 words. It could have something to do with the way the hood latches too. If you could post a photo it would be awesome.

 

riwanika

spot on.

i just looked again and it seems the hood sits flush on one side
the other it sits lower than the fenders, the bumper and the headlights - what could be the issue here?

how do i adjust the bonnet latch?

 

There should be a couple of bolts on the back side of the latch for adjusting it up and down, I'm not sure exactly what it looks like as I don't own a 7 any more. Also check the rubber grommets around the hood where it closes. They're circled in the pic below. Sometimes these have a method of adjustment on them. When the hood shuts it rests against them.
