the clearance between the top of my lights and bonnet is abit more then normal..

how could i get the front to go lower so it sits flush over the top of the lights? ive adjusted the gromit things for the bonnet but its not sitting on those now, its just on the bonnet catch...

when i push the bonnet down it sits nice, but when i let go it springs back up on the catch..

heres a pic of the clearance..



anyone got any ideas? can i ajust the catch?

There is 2 rubber bits at the front off the bonnet, adjust them and it will sit better


Heres a pic so you know what to look for, theres 1 at each side

looks like your bonnet needs sitting further forward rather than lowering, its not lined up with the end of the wings. only very slightly, is it worth it though.
