Default body panels not lining UP

While washing my car on Sat I noticed my hood was not lining up properly. One side sank deeper in the front not sure what is causing it.[/align][/align]I also had an issue where the side ground effect popped out. All I had to do is snap i back in.[/align]

You twist the bumper up or down to adjust hood height. See pic of the bumper.

6200 miles on her. The side ground effect was totally popped out and the square peg rivet was broken in half.

I poped it back in , not difficult at all but it disturbed me a little.( I hate my dealer)

She gos in for an oil change( Mobile 1) at 7000 miles I will mention it to the dealer.

good luck. dealers are funny arent they. wont leave you alone when your thinking of buying and then cant help you when you have problems. i bought 4 cars in 14 months from my dealer and on the charger out of no where they couldnt help me with pricing and calling me back. so i went somewhere else and got a better deal. there lose not mine.

The dealer I purcahsed from was great on buying the car but the knowledge of the mechanics is weak at best..

They can only fix things w/ a TSB. No TSB no fix.

My car still knocks and pings from time to time and the throttle responce could be better but I LOVE my TB!
