nope, even after removing the two rubber things theres still a large gap.

it goes down when i push on the hood but feels like there's something rubbery pushing it back up..

and it's been like this since i got the car

Something is causing it to sit like that. Look to see if there is ANY thing holding it up slightly. Maybe the other side is lower than it should be?
