Default Is it already sitting at the correct height??

Not much provision for side to side/corner to corner adjustment.


--Try This Quick Answer/Quick Fix--

-remove phillips screws holding headlight bezel in place and remove bezel.
-loosen the four torx screws holding lid in place and see if this minimal movement is enough to adjust lid properly.
-reverse order to tighten

This has worked for me for the few minor side alignment adjustments I've made, not sure it was 1/4" tho...

The only other adjustments are height adjusters at all four corners under the lid. They are white plastic hex-head screws that raise or lower the each corner to align the height of the lid even with the adjacent body panel/hood/bumper cover...

I might have a few pictures floating around if needed...
