Is there any difference between a 62 bug hood and 65? I have a 67 that didn't fit right and my 65 fits better but still not great. Do I need to find an older one?:(

If they are OG fit wise will be exact... BUT the 67 has small trim holes the 65/ 62 have the same trim holes EXCEPT the 62 will have slots for the front crest.

That is what I thought. I will just cut the slots for the crest in the 65 hood. Maybe it just isn't going to fit just right after all of these years. I will just have to put up with just O.K. <_<

if the car and the hood aren't tweaked you should be able to get it to fit as good as new. if you have hinge springs unbolt them so the hinges lay out of the way and just set the hood on where its supposed to be. if all the gaps are tight then your fit problem is probably in the adjustment.

I'll try that but it is out as far as it will go. I think that I will have to modify the hood mounts.
