Adjustments...

[Ginja]

All, I have noticed that my bonnet is rubbing on my headlight, which isn't desirable and is soon going to result in a hole in my headlamps. The bonnet seems to be held down a little too far and the headlight could be slightly over to one side. I would like to know if its easy to adjust the bonnet catches or am I opening a pandora's box? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks Dave,

Sorry I missed you on Sunday, I saw you come in and then leave but not in between...

I like this quote from that lot:

'the purpose of the bumper is to keep the hood snug to the car, eliminate any vibrations in the latch mechanism, without a hood bumper you would hear a very annoying rattling of the loop in the catch mechanism driving over bumps etc.. '

No chance of hearing any rattling in mine and I did lower the bumper because that catch wasn't catching, I didn't realise it needed to be snug - see I should have asked earlier :-)

Just for future reference I have adjusted the rubber boots and I can no longer remove a piece of paper from between the bottom and the boot. I have also added some electric tape strategically placed on the headlight as an anti rub measure.

I have discovered on the VCA site this is a reasonably common issue and other people have resolved it by accessing the headlight from the wheel arch access point, loosening it and budging it sideways a bit. I haven't tried this yet mostly due to lack of space but if you can get to them in this way it does seem like a logical resolution.
