From the time My vett left the body shop there has been a small rubbing on the passanger side. (I know take it back to the shop and have them repair it). For my own intrest I want to know how to adjust this myself. I have touch up paint. After the accident we were unable to match up the front because it was a Kit . So they repaired the fiberglass this was about 6 mouths ago.
Thanks for your help in advance. Steve Attach file:  h2.jpg (269.09 KB) h1.jpg (92.85 KB) |

the front bumpers should be about 1 in and the back ones 1 in to the line where the bumper starts to cone in .what year is your car ??????/as there is a first and second design .looking in the factory service manual . it looks like your might be adjusted too low .ck the front and rear bumper measurements . i will ck back in a little while .you may have to also adjust the metal plunger that actually locks the hood if your bumpers are way off .

IIRC, there are two bolts, available via the inner fender well (below the rubber stopper. Loosen those and the bumper should drop a bit. Then raise the stopper a touch.

I had somewhat of the same issue a couple of years ago. This thread might be instructive:

The bumper on the 84 I had was way off after I got it from body shop. The front did not align with the hood at all. After hours of frustration, I got it much better.
