My hood was still off by a 1/4 inch - I tried all sorts of things to get it down and back - nothing. So I opted to pull the hood off and elongate the holes. when I removed the hinges I could see there was a rub spot on the cowl - not allowing the hinge to move back completely.
These are after market hinges (New)as I only had one original hinge with the Truck. So I decided to measure the old hinge to the new. Low and behold the NEW hinges are 1/4 inch wider than the original - not allowing them to move back as far as they should.
Well China needs to understand not everything is better bigger, sure The Great Wall and Terracotta Warriors are fine but not chevy parts. ....the journey continues....
