Ralph Greene Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) That's the only flaw I have found on her car. When standing in front....the seam between hood and fender is about twice as much on driver side as passenger side. The hood almost touches the fender. It's very noticeable and bugs my wife. Is there any adjustment that dealership can make to this? I'm not taking about a difference one would need a micrometer to notice either. Am I being too "picky"? Otherwise vehicle seems well made.

92merc Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 On a luxury vehicle, no you are not being picky. This should really have been picked up in dealer prep. I'm not sure how exactly they adjust the hood, but it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ralph. No, you are not being too "picky", especially if it is close to touching the fender. Yes, the hood can be adjusted, either by the Dealer Service Department, their body shop, or the body shop they use for repairs. Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Ralph Greene Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Up date on hood alignment issue.....Local dealership (Parks Lincoln) fixed it. Was in body shop over night, they gave me an Enterprise Rental loaner (BMW 330I....over complicaed controls and hard to get in and out of....over rated small sedan seemed to me) Could not ask any dealership to do more.
