Hood Fitment Issue?
Hey guys took my car to the MB dealership to have some repairs, and now my hood won't close right? Any ideas why? It only fits strangely on one side..

There's latches just above and inside the high beams, and it looks like the driver side latch is engaged but the passenger side isn't. Pull up the hood to make sure there's no tools that were left there (that could dent your hood), and then just try closing the hood again. If it still doesn't close, then yes take it back, but check to make sure they just forgot to "click in" both sides.

I would take it back to them and tell them that the hood needs to be fixed. That definitely has a problem and it's not some thing you're making up. They can see it with their own eyes, you should tell them that the car should not have even been returned to you with the hood in that condition.

Regardless, I would still check yourself to make sure they didn't leave any tools. If they're dumb, maybe they'll just say "oh, it's not down all the way" and push down into it to get it to latch. If there's a tool there, you're going to dent your hood. Then you don't want to have to go through the hassle of getting a new hood, even if they are the ones paying for it.
