Re: [DML] Front hood corners not straight

["Joseph Molino" <foxmul@xxxx>]

I saw this too on my car and determined that if you look under the hood, you
will see a tab on each corner that has not been folded over the hood. have
someone press on the hood and then with pliers or similar tool simply bend
the tab back on the plastic underpart of the hood and the outer skin should
now be straight. Like when you install a radio and the cage needs you to
press out the tabs on either side so the cage can grip the opening.
