Hood is rubbing on the fender
First off, i'm new here and I hope i'm posting in the right place..
I have a 2013 G37 Sedan, it was in an accident on the passenger side prior to me purchasing and whoever did the repairs did it half ***.
The hood rubs on the corner of the fender on the driver side.. Are things just out of alignment? Could it be the hinges are bent or bad somehow?
I tried loosening the bolts into the hood and pulling it towards the passenger side but it didn't make a noticeable difference.
Maybe I need to try at the bottom of the hinge where its bolted down?
For the time being, I loosened the 2 10mm bolts on the top of the fender and pulled it away, but it looks funky sticking out where it meets the A-Pillar.
Also, there's noise and a noticeable amount of play in the hinge and shock when the hood it open all the way and you lift it up and down slightly.
