I'm worried about the stress thats putting on the hood and it may crack. I also dont think it's normal to sit uneven like that so wanted to see if others had the issue.

I even put the hood on my living room floor with no hardware on it at all and one side is lower than the other.

Seibon is trying to tell me it's normal.
I also cannot close mine by just pushing the hood down. I actually let it drop from about 6 inches above the core support and it locks in place and i don't put stress on the drivers side. The whole hood absorbs and distributes the impact. I don't know if that's something you're willing to try but i have been closing mine like that for 2 years now and it hasn't damaged the hood at all.
cooltoy and Hotrodz like this.

When your hood is not latched and just resting down is it sitting even?
