WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

Since the centering bolt is used as a hood hinge set bolt, the hood cannot be adjusted with it on. Substitute the bolt with a washer for the centering bolt.
