I recently bought the Rugged Ridge hood latches to stop some hood flutter. After installing them the passenger side does not latch properly because my hood is more to that side. Is there any adjustments I can do to re-center my hood?
 
Yes you can loosen the hinges and adjust away. However understand that if the bolts have never been loosened then you will break the paint seal. Once that is done if they are not protected rust will set in
 
I found that by loosening the hood hinges at the cowl side (not on top of the hood) I was able to adjust the hood to square it up.
