Barn door that just wont close
Initial problem:
https://www.miataturbo.net/meet-greet-40/hot-n-fresh-noob-sonora-ca-62037/
Sourced a new fender and got it installed fairly easily. The right side headlight wouldnt close all the way and was slightly rubbing the fender. So I picked up a new headlight assembly too.
I only swapped over the part encircled in red because I couldnt get one of the damn bolts blocked by the evap charcoal filter bullshit thingy. Not sure if that's the technical name for it.
Fitment is better than initial post-crash fitment, but still doesnt close all the way. I tried playing with the adjuster, but alas, no luck.
Should I swap over the rest of the headlight mount and motor that's not circled in the first picture, possibly something is bent?
