The bonnet on my Fiesta mk8 seems to have gone out of alignment. It seems to be low down on the near side, about 10mm below the top of the head light unit, about 5mm too far to the off side & level with the top of the off side head light unit.It has also become difficult to close without letting it drop. Is there a way of adjusting the alignment? I think the striker not lining up with the catch correctly is causing the closing difficulty.

By mk8 do you mean mk7 or mk7.5?

If its a mk7.5 (2013) then I'd get it back to your dealer to sort.

^{Its a mk7 2010 on a 59 reg. Looking at it more closely it looks like the bonnet has dropped on the near side, maybe one of the bump stops is loose?}

^{More worryingly though, a knowlegable friend has pointed out to me possible evidence of poorly repaired collision damage!}

^{1) The whole bonnet has been resprayed, evidence of dry spray, tiny sinkage spots & snags.}

^{2) Front bumper similiar.}

^{3) Off side front wing same & is not flush with driver's door (slightly 'inwards' at the top.)}

^{4) Dry spray/rough orange peel at top of driver's door above mirror & area of deep scratches, possibly where filler or high build primer has not been flatted correctly.}

^{I purchased the car in April 2012 from a car supermarket in Merseyside (NOT the large national one), thinking that they were reputable & trustworthy I didn't think to check for such defects!}

^{(feel a right merchant banker now)}

^{16 months since purchase now so don't think I've got any redress against them now!}

^{Any suggestions or advice most gratefully received, thanks!}
