Hello Dietbrand:

I just went through this with my '92-- in my case, the reason for the hood misalignment was that the hinge was bent. I replaced the hinge with one from a junkyard. Compare the hinges left and right to determine if yours is bent as well. In my case it was obvious-- the metal was fatigued to the point of breaking. You don't have to worry about the springs-- with the hood open they aren't a problem. The mechanism can be adjusted by loosening the 12mm bolts and moving the various parts relative to one another. It helps to have somebody to help hold the hood.

Good luck!
