F30 hood gap

jcesquivel10 · 06-02-2021, 12:06 PM

Have had this gap between hood and bumper for months. Already tried adjusting the bumper and the knobs on the hood nothing has worked. Any one else have this problem[IMG][/IMG]

Where is the front rubber seal?

Might want to check the replies in your other two threads.

So better to start another thread about the exact same issue..... with that sort of intelligence shining through, are you sure you did any of the repairs properly....

I have to sort of slam mine shut. If I'm careful I end up with a gap like yours on 1 side.

Then respond in the original thread you created and say that. Creating a new thread won't help, it just annoys people and it's bad etiquette.

Try checking the 2 catches in engine bay. They can be moved if you don’t close the hood lid hard enough. I managed to move one of mine whilst cleaning it. Hood wouldn’t close. The catches clip around the U-clip brackets in your photo. Try manually moving the bracket on the side that’s showing high. After checking your photos again it looks like the 2 ‘hooks’ on the catches are pushed forward & the hood is hitting them. Try pushing the hooks backwards. If it works ok, ensure you ‘drop’ the hood from about 30cms to ensure it closes properly. Hope it works for you. Cheers.

Afterthought, also clear the dead leaves from the rear corners of engine compartment, they will clog the drains & you may get water leaking into the cabin. Cheers.

+1 on adjusting the u-catches and removing the leaves.

Looks like you are missing all the screws for the top of the bumper. Did you recently just install those black grills?

I was going to say the same. I also commented that the rubber seal is missing, and that was ignored by the OP.

mlev · 06-03-2021, 05:10 PM

Your front bumper isn't even screwed on, and you've started 3 threads asking why it doesn't align while ignoring all of the comments? You could at least try to be subtle if you're going to troll these forums. Otherwise, leave your "modding" attempts to a professional.

psyki · 06-03-2021, 05:54 PM

In case it's not obvious what others have pointed out, it looks like your bumper is not attached at the top, there are supposed to be bolts in these positions on both sides:

What exactly did you do when you say that you adjusted the front bumper?

Well you could try not being so stupid and do any number of the suggestions.... or you know, start another thread to show off how smart you are.

ctdriver320i · 06-12-2021, 05:35 AM

I think the outer screws are T27 and the inner are T25 I used when I changed my grill.
