The hood brackets have no adjustment slots.I hit a deer and am replacing the hood but it dose not line up, no gap on one side large gap on the other side

Did you complete hinges too? You can slot them yourself if needed?

I thank you for the suggestion on slotting the hinges.I can also bend the hinges so the hood lines up.I was looking for more of a profesonal anwser not how to jury rig something. Are there adjustment slots on the hinges which are under the fender.I know toyota did not build a car with no way to adjust the hood Backwardbob

I meant did you completely replace hinges as hidden part can get bent and not show.
