I have searched the forum but all I found was people with a hood too high. What do I do about this hood too low? I have tried the front to back adjustment and obviously that does nothing. The left side is about even but the right is giving me grief.

Kind of hard to tell with 2D image and not enough images with a straight edge to help.

Looks like maybe RH side is sticking out a tad? Might need to bend the hood back into shape. You can find blueprints for such in the "Local Manufacture of Tools" in the "Technical" section of this web site in the "Tools" column.
