MY HOOD WAS PUSHED UPWARDS AND THEREFORE THE SIDE SEAMS (OR OPENING) SEEMS TO BE ABOUT AN 1/8 OF AN INCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL. CAN RAIN AND SNOW GET INTO MY ENGINE AND CAUSE PROBLEMS?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hi there,

Go get a panel shop to adjust the bonnet as you don't want any excise water getting into the electrics if possible.
