I changed my battery last weekend, and when I was finished I noticed the battery cover didn't fit on perfectly...I guess I didn't line up the positive terminal correctly. So I sorta forced it in there, and it seemed low enough, but I'm thinkin now it isn't. I looked at my hood today and noticed on the drivers side the edge is higher then the side panels. I popped the hood and took the cover out, but now the drivers side of the hood doesn't sit flush with the rest of the car. Granted its 1-3 centimeters, but it still bothers the heck outa me, as I'm sure it would with you guys too...
Any suggestions?
Anything is appreciated...
Thanks

What size batterry did you install
Mine is a little taller than stock and the cover had to be modified
Most fit perfect or have a removable spacer maybe on the bottem

 

I didn't bother putting the cover back on after I got an aftermarket one. I can live without it since the hood stays closed most of the time and the engine bay is too dirty to show it off to anyone.

 

Yeah battery was possibly a little taller, but I didn't think enough to make a difference. My stock one didn't have a handle and this did....but is this still enough to bend that side of the hood up? What are my options here....get a few friends to sit on that section to lower it? or something a little more complex?

 

I trimmed the underside of the plastic cover so that it would fit flush. If it didn't fit, I would have done without.

 

First are you sure it wasnt like that before? try adjusting the rubber hood stops.
