Hood and quarter panel gap issue

[Hbag88]

Hello,
First post so I’m sorry if this is in the wrong place. I just got a 2021 Ram 1500 Rebel. I noticed the gap between my hood and the quarter panel is bigger on the driver side compared to the other. Wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and if so how they were able to fix it.
Thank you,

Probably just need to adjust the hood alignment.

Yup, just looks like they didn't get the alignment just right, pretty easy to adjust actually from the hood.

That kind of thing is part of the 3yr / 36K warranty (you also have a 5yr / 60K powertrain warranty). If you are out of warranty and the dealer that sold you the truck isn't willing to adjust in good will, you can watch some YouTube videos or take it to a good body shop, shouldn't cost much to do the adjustment. Can literally take 10 minutes or so with someone who knows what they are doing.

Awesome thank you so much!

Hope you were able to adjust it. Its a very easy fix. This is coming from a guy that does NOT have a ton of mechanical skills

Ended up taking it by a body shop. He told me he could adjust it but that it might throw it off in other areas. It lines up perfect in the front so might not be worth messing with it.

Just an FYI, the front panels are fenders and the rear panels are quarter panels. The hood does not mate up with the quarter panels. Just for future reference.
