Get a friend, unbolt the hood together. Just loosen the farthest bold from the windshield, undo the other.. Swap hood & hood latch.. Attach back to car, adjust & tighten.. lower & close. check gaps.. raise, & adjust some more.. You can only adjust so much honestly..

what window wiper stuff? The nozzels for the windsheild washer are in the plastic section between the hood and windsheild. Just look at your hood- there are no nozzels on it
