Looking for some advice, the engine lid on the passenger side has a large gap but it looks ok on the drivers side any ideas why?
Thanks

Shrinkage from the cold

Actually it's just out of alignment. Should be consistent with all the other gaps on the car.

Also look like it's a little low on the right side by the window glass. . better
check the hinge bracket on the firewall for cracks. .this is what happens when the hinge angle bracket cracks at the curvature. . also adjustable side to side by loosening the hinge bolts and slide it to the right. .
You're missing the rear window to engine deck lid seal also. .

As noted its off on both sides.

Looks like you need a window seal...

IIRC there is some black edge trim for the lid.

Your sticker reminded me that I actually heard a Ziebart commercial on the radio today. I thought they were a company gone many years past.

I had a look at it today and i dont see how the lid can be adjusted from side to side.
Whats the procedure?

Thanks

I had the same thing on a previous 914. I had to weld in new mounts from restoration design. One side was cracked and failing.
