    Noticed one side of my hood looks slightly higher and looser

    Noticed one side of my hood looks slightly higher and looser when closed. The only things I see to align it are too hood ladtches (1 on each side). Is there anything I'm missing. Both seem a bit loose. Not sure what size tool would fit those tiny screws.

    Okay I noticed I'm missing a bump stop on one fender. This is that part

    Are we supposed to have any turn hood buffers to adjust the hood on Z4's. I feel like I may have had in the past but can not be sure. I noticed a mechanic changed some rivets. Wondering if he took the buffers out.
    Do we have things like these?

    Crazy luck. Over a year ago this must have fallen off. I did not know what it was on that day so I put it on my tool cart. I just remembered it and it was still there. I put it back on. Yay!

    Yes it is which is unusual because the Z3 forum is pretty busy.
