VR Vertical Bonnet adjustment - Help needed
Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advise on how to raise the back (windscreen end) of my bonnet, the back sits below the fender line. Most cars can be raised by loosening the two bolts on the guards and raise the hinge, but my VR won't move. I've removed the bonnet & brackets but the adjusting plate won't move, it's not rusted or stuck as I can move the plate in and out from the guard, just not up and down. Would appreciate any help thanks

Maybe you could place some washers between the bracket and the bonnet?
Thanks for that, I'll keep that idea for my last resort, But I think I'll keep looking at why the adjusting bracket does not move. Hopefilly someone may have a workshop manual photo of what's holding the bracket in place. CheersOriginally Posted by seraphic06

the little black plastic adjusters towards the back on the fenders may help.
Almost not here!
If the bonnet is sittling lower than the mud gaurd - your hinges are bent. Get some lube on them before they bust your front window.
Replace the hindges to see the bonnet back to the gaurd level.

hey mate, i also have the exact problem, hasnt concerned me yet but if anyone has an answer... i've also been told to put washers in... but dont really want to....
it's exactly how you describe your problem...
and the black adjuster's arent much help...
Almost not here!
It will be bent hinges that lets the bonnet drop down at the back. It's no real problem until it cracks the front window.
Lube hinges now
