Hood Adjustment Question
Have an 04 that I just took delivery of and the hood doesn't close quite right. You can push down on it after it is closed and it doesn't seem latched the whole way. Adjusted the latch itself by loosening and sliding it down the whole way. Definately helped, but still not quite right. Should I start playing with where it attaches at the top hinges? I could go back to the dealer but don't want the hassle.

i think you need to adjust your rubber stoppers to press up on the hood more. there are 4 of them, you just turn them and they will go up or down depending on the direction that you turn them. 2 are in the middle at the sides, and 2 are to the left and right of the hood latch.

Your best approach would be to 'drop' it from about a foot above the bumper. That way, you will not damage the hood by pressing on it.
