Adjusting Hood

Guys, I just bought a fiberglass heat extractor hood. I need to get it fit properly. Where are the adjustments made? In the hinge/truck mount or at the hood/hinge mount? The hood mainly needs to move towards the grille and over towards the passenger side alittle. Any help would be great.
thanks,
Steven

When I installed aftermarket hoods I just did the adjustments at the rear hinges just loosen them up and keep moving it around till its lined up also you might have to loosen the hood latch and move it up or down to get it to engage and lock it helps if there is another person helping you because it can get very aggravating. Also sometimes you have to put shims in the rear hinges. goodluck

If you just need to move the hood while it's down work on the hood to hinge mount. That is all should have changed.
