The hood on my 240 shuts offcenter with the driver's side of the hood raised slightly. I found the problem to be the base of the hinge on the driver's side is lifting up when the hood shuts. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to fix it?

 

i got the same problem and i thought my hood was just warped a little from when i had it in my basement leaning on the wall while i swapped a newer motor in. i got the exact same thing.. the driver side of the hood sits up like a 1/4 on an inch its been pissin me off for a week!!

 

have u fixed it? let me know if u figure anythign out i think ill just keep playin aruond with the hinges and see what happens

 

try new hinges, they cant be that much from a junk yard....

 

It appears that the front of the hinge base is bolted down but the back is put on with some kind of adhesive. I guess mine finally just let go. Anyone know what you are supposed to use to put it back on?

 

jb weld maybe....i cant think of anything else that would hold it
