That's how the factory did it but that looks like an easy fix, like said loosen and play around there's plenty of movement all way with the hing bolts. Sometimes I loosen only the rear bolt and pivot the lid up and that will bring that rear edge down. 68 Polara 500...LL1 Y7 M6X 69 Hemi road runner...X9 X9 M6X 69 A12 road runner....R4 R4 M6X 69 ModTop FLORAL Super Bee...F 70 AAR 'cuda...EW1 EW1 H4X9 71 Duster 340...FJ6 V24 L6X9 71 road runner FC7 V1X M6X9 72 Rallye Charger B5 V1W 74 'cuda 360...KB5 V1X A6X9 08 SRT Challenger #234
