Headlamp Door adjust
Crummy shop did some work and left me with a mis-aligned headlamp door..it's higher in back, lower in front..Body shop said $85 to adjust it sounds pretty steep. Is this a do-it-yourself or do I need a Pro..?

PITA but its dooable
There are 2 or 3 threaded bumper stops and the actual screws which hold the headlamp door. Might take you an hour but it is certainly something you can do yourself. Raise and lower the headlamp using the manual wheel at the rear of the headlamp, make adjustments, tighten the screws and do a final check turning the headlights on and off with the switch on the steering column stalk. If not where it should be adjust and try again. Make sure attachment screws are tight when done.

I took a closer look this morning..Well the crappy shop evidently busted my headlamp assembly and tried to epoxy it back together..it's completely screwed only opens half-way. Looks like I'll be replacing the whole unit plus some paint work...Grrrrrrrrr what a mess..
