You will need a helper on the adjustment needed. Loosen the hood to fender bolts, both sides. Pick the hood up in front so as to cause the hinges to rotate upward. Have someone retighten the hinges while holding the hood.

Usually it will close with no problems, but the adjustment can cause the hood to move rearward. If there is a small gap between the hood and cowl, I would suggest increasing the gap prior to the adjustment, by moving the hood forward on the hinges.
