fit and finish niggles T350

[silverT350t]

a couple of things I've noticed recently and wondered if anyone else had similar. Firstly the drivers side bonnet moves up and down a bit when the wipers are operated.
Secondly the left side top edge of the "boot" is raised above the roofline of the car when shut. the drivers side edge has a nice flush fit.

Are these things that can be easily adjusted?
'05 car and still under warranty so I will call the dealer, just wondering if anyone else had similar 1st?

My bonnet was slighly out of alignement and was sorted at the 1000 mile service under warranty so you shouldn't have any problems getting your sorted.

Both can be adjusted by the dealer, but If you have access to an allen key set that fits (they are a weird size!), you can do the boot lid yourself. Its simply a case of adjusting that allen key fitments until it's right.

Make sure the wipers aren't catching your bonnet trailing edge - they did on mine and the dealer needed to get it resprayed!

Yep, mine too. I've noticed 2005 cars have a slightly differently shaped bonnet around the wipers.

Why on earth did they do that?! My bonnet needed re-profiling because they couldn't get it to clear by adjusting it - I noticed it still caught slightly after that - but that's someone else's problem now.
