It's not the adjustment because if you push the back of the hood down it stays until you open the hood again. Did you experience a similar problem and if so did the new hinges fix it? Thanks
I have 2 opinions of Eddie motorsports hinges.

-My personal opinion is that it's a nice product and well made. I've had mine for 2 years with 0 issues. They also cleaned up the issues you described about hood alignment.

-My 2nd hand opinion is that they suck and you should buy the Ring Bros hinges when they go on sale. I've seen a lot of failures on these hinges and a good friend had a set fail, gouge his fender and Eddie Motorsports treated him like ****.

The hinges have worked well for me though.
