CURE FOR HOOD LIFTING AT WINDSHIELD
After several failed attempts to solve the problem of a raised hood(even replaced hinges once)on my 87 244 I finally solved the problem. I took the hinges off one at a time(be sure to support hood with some kind of prop and place a folded towel between the hood and the windshield cowl). At the rear of the hinge there is an adjustment slot with a locking bolt which in my case I had already set at the lowest possible position. I removed the bolt and with a dremel grinding bit I extended the slot about a quarter of an inch lower. I also used the grinding stone to smooth the bottom of the hinge of excess paint and what looked like globs of some type of glue. I cleaned the area where the hinge attaches to the fender and reinstalled the hinge and my hood sat flat for the first time since I have owned the car.
