The driver's side hinge has a larger gap from the cowl side than your passenger side... Is there any way to bend the base of the hinge to bias it closer to the cowl side and away from the fender???
I was thinking of trying to do that. I’ll give it a try but not much leverage can be had with fender on. I can just not open all the way but don’t want to risk peeling paint off the fresh painted fender
