Mojave hood scoop fit question

[schanro]

Hey everyone!

I've been living with a potential issue with my hood scoop (see pictures). It's has a slight warp, maybe 1/8th of an inch in the middle. My wife didn't notice, but I do. Is this common? I was tempted to take it to the dealership, but haven't yet as it's a minor visual that I'm probably the only one who notices it. I wanted to see if anyone else has had similar fit issues, and whether or not I should ask them to replace it or if it's a common issue that I shouldn't worry about (or can fix myself).

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I don't have that hood to experiment with, but if it pops out you can just drop a small strip of 3m tape under the whole front end to stick down on.

I don’t have that and it would annoy me also , get it fixed! Just checked mine , picture isn’t real clear but no gap, it might be an overtightened faster but I bet the “warp” is permanent….Jack

I tried pressing it down from the hood and nothing seemed to 'catch' so I think it's a warp in the scoop itself. I'll look and see from underneath, but to be honest this is my first brand new vehicle in a long time and I'm concerned that I'll break something if I press to hard or in the wrong place.

Looks pretty well centered on mine.

There's nothing you can really do to fix it, the choice is either get it replaced or stick it down with glue or something. They make a glue specific for car emblems that should work well.

I would start with the dealer and see if you can get that piece replaced under warranty. If not, a piece of the 3M VHB tape should hold it down.

Yeah, I'm certain mine has a manufacturing defect after seeing these pics. Thanks for sharing!

Yup, I'm going to make an appointment asap.
