The first and easiest fix is to make sure that the ball stud on the fender well is not sandwiching the plastic battery cover between the washer and the fender itself. It it is, you can adjust the cover slightly to allow the washer to seat against the fender. Doing this will reclaim about 1~2 mm of height. You can also try adjusting the bracket on the hood to make sure that it is not binding when fully closed.



Alternatives like bending the plastic cover are a last resort. We have never had to do that in house when installing these for customers.



Good luck and let me know if you have any questions

I tried these suggestions before I modified the plastic cover. Neither worked.
