bonnet rattle

Post by ncd72 »

hi all - does anyone know how you adjust the bonnet down so it sort of clamps down tighter? - reason being that on the passenger side theres a fair bit of up and down movement - especially right above the light unit and im sure i can here it tapping/banging while im driving -i reckon theres a good 5mm play up and down.

thanks in advance
