I'm not sure how it adjusts off the top of my head. I believe possibly the
"socket" screws can be loosened and the position adjusted. But I think it's
more likely that the cable and/or mechanism need lubrication -- the spring
tension is not sufficient to return it to "closed" due to friction.
Another factor is excess side-to-side bonnet movement -- if you don't have
the rubber snubbers on the wings, you should get some. The bonnet hinges
have almost no integrity in the lateral direction.
