How to adjust the hood after minor front end hit?
Hi folks,
I hit a post by accident as I was trying to maneuver the car out of parking lot.
I think I need to fix the hood. After close the hood, I can see the left-hand side has much bigger gap than the right, between the edge of the hood and the side-panel. Do I need to take off the hood and fix the hinge first? I need advice from you guys. I'll take some pics if you want.
Thanks in advance.

Once you move a part, the rest of the gaps get thrown off so measure before you move anything! Loosen the bolts finger tight, it helps if you have another hand to help. Move the part slowly and tighten, check progress and repeat. Tighten bolts to spec.
