Just noticed my bonnet is sitting low at the front drivers side corner, at the headlight. Roughly 5mm lower than what it should be. Had a look at the hinges to see if everything is sitting right, it has been off before as the bolts have socket marks on them - seems fine though. It doesn't look bent or anything. The other side is perfect. Any ideas?I'll get a pic uploaded shortly |

Ah, I'm not at home just now so won't can check until tomorrow. If the rubber wasn't there would it sit lower than usual? I've got a feeling it's probably missing |

Well just checked to see if the rubbers are sitting correctly and they seem fine. Don't really know what else to check...  |

Did you leave something in the engine bay that makes the other side higher? |
