    I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here, but on my car, the right side of the hood doesn't go down all the way. I've tried adjusting the pins and checking to see if anything was in the way when I closed the hood, but nothing. It's still higher on the right than the left.

    Rich,

    loosen the nut at the top of the peg.

    get a flat head screw driver and adjust the height of the peg.

    tighten the nut at the top of the peg.

    test the fit.

    repeat as needed.
