One other item, you may want to loosen the screws which fasten the grille, in front of the wiper door, to gain a bit of movement.
There are sometimes some shims used but these are for fore/aft adjustment, closer to the windshield or further.

Hi 504,
Here's a picture of one of the screw/plates that BB noted that need to be loosened for side to side wiper door/grill movement. The second picture shows the sheet metal plate he mentions too. It's in the center of the picture, and mounts with 1 hex headed screw.
Remember you need to loosen the actuator bracket too, when you move the wiper door mechanism.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

This looks like the plate for the center bracket which holds up the grille. There are two other plates, one on each side with studs and nuts. Won't hurt to loosen all a bit and as Alan stated the bracket for the actuator. That may give you some side to side adjustment. Hope this helps.
