I just purchased a 2019 Grand Sport. It is still under warranty. The car had 1500 miles on it! Everything is perfect on it except: After getting it home I noticed the hood is not aligned and is a little high in the front. Not real obvious but none the less still maybe a quarter inch high. Will the dealer adjust this under warranty? Can it be adjusted? Thanks!

MY '19 Stingray looks exactly the same way. Probably pretty close to normal for these cars. I toyed with taking it to the dealer for possible adjustment. But, the "cure" might have been worse than the disease. So, I am good with the look.
my 19 gs hood is high just on the driver side. hard to adjust high spot without making another bad spot somewher else. sometimes wonder if fenders are not mounted wrong. good luck at dealership. let us know how it went.
Recently took my hood off to remove a strip and install a JAKE on the stinger.Removed the 4 bolts.The hood is about as heavy as a piece of cardboard that size.
Didn't think there was a adjustment.Wrong.
Those 4 bolts adjust quite a bit.The hood was sprung up in the front.It is very easy to adjust.Take your time with small adjustments.Leave the 4 bolts tightness loose enough to move.You can see how much you adjust.Simply go easy and do trial fits and watch how quickly a little bit will make a difference.
Don't force it or slam above normal.Careful on over-tightening.
I didn't want to waste half a day going to the dealer.Or something stupid happening being there.

Thanks to everyone. Very helpful. Carfax was clean so I'm going to try the dealer under warranty. But its good to know that I can tackle it myself if they don't make it better.
