Hood not closing evenly

[NorthShore4Runner]

Brought my 4R in for service last week and since then, because I'm OCD about every minute detail of my baby, I've noticed the hood isn't closing right. Naturally, the shop won't admit any wrong doing. There's a sizable difference between the gaps over the head lights and running down where the hood meets the fender. I can't see any actual deformation to the hood, and it's never been in an accident. Anyone see this before?

Yes your OCD. Try and adjust your headlights

I would take I back and ***** up a storm and let them know about your OCD and that is how you noticed it, trust me I have it also.

It looks like your right headlight is slightly bigger than the left. I would take it back.

Why don't you just loosen up the bolt that hold the fender on and push or pull on either side to match the gaps

Are the rubber stops under the hood adjusted evenly?

That'll effect the up and down. Not the side to side

As a fellow OCD, I won't patronize you.

I set my hood down, not closed, didn't drop it, just set it nicely, with a screwdriver on one side. New it was there, that's why I was careful. It was enough to bend the bracket so my hood is off.

Had to just put weight on it a handful of times to get it backto normal.

It looks like there's a larger gap from the top of the headlight on the driver's side to the edge of the hood than on the passenger side.

You can adjust your hood. And your fenders. You can't adjust your headlights they don't have adjustment points.

Looks like somebody closed the hood with a tool in there and tweaked it. Id take it back.
