Bumper sagging

So my passenger side is sagging a bit and I've checked all the clips and bolts. They were all on so I don't know what's wrong... Any help?

There should be a rubber stopper that the hood hits/rests on when you close the hood. You should be able to adjust it but twisting it to go up and down. My guess is the stopper on the passenger side has wiggled itself higher then the driver side. Adjusting it should close the gap.

If it is actually sagging perhaps shimming it with washers would work.

My guess would have been the rubber adjuster too If you look at where the fender meets the hood on top of the headlight , the hood is higher on the passenger..maybe bring the driver side adjuster up to even the hood out:shrug:

Yeah most likely a hood alignment and not a bumper problem

i would say it would be a bumper support...i have exactly same problem on my sentia... altho your hood is slightly skewed, but not enough to make such huge gaps
