Taycan 4S hood misaligned

[pmas73]

In my case, it’s just from a particular angle that it looks slightly off. Like here it looks ok:

Same as mine, from these pictures you can't tell.
It is only visible from front-low

Okay... I realized my picture was not taken with the right angle... So I had to kneel down for another one. For reference with the dealer, I hope this helps.

Little update...
Tried shimming one side of the bumper and seems it solved pretty much everything.
Also I noticed that the gasket around the frunk was not perfectly seated (the little lip that holds the plastic covers around) and seated well it all around.
Now, this is the result.
It seems ok at 90% I assume.

I could play with the rubber stoppers on the front, but as for now they are both completely screwed in, because I prefer if the hood seats on the frunk gasket in order to have a perfect seal.

What do you think?

I think you nailed it!

My hood is very well aligned, here are the pics with the rubber stoppers (all the way up I guess).
For me your hood alignment might not the issue but the bumper...

Sorry for coming back to this post...
Talking about the rubber stoppers, it seems yours are completely screwed in...
Do you think when the bonnet is closed they touch on the bumper trim or you think your bonnet is seating only on the frunk gasket?
I don't know if it is better to make the bonnet seat completely on the gasket or is better to use the rubber stoppers to support.
I am having mine completely screwed in at the moment, and trying to extend them I noticed that I have to unscrew them in different lengths in order to make them sit on the trim.

Also, if I make them touch the trim the bonnet is slightly hardest to close.

Please, if someone could give me the final advice in order to set them and maybe attache photos of theirs it would be very helpful

Hello,
You had me to run some hands-on activities.
I used some tape, applied a layer of clay and closed the bonnet. As you can see from the picture, there is some clay on the stopper, prooving a contact with the bumper trim despite being fully screwed in.

WOW, thank you VERY much for your testing.
I'll try that method since I tried with soapy water and left no mark at all...

do you think yours touches evenly on both sides with both stoppers completely screwed in?

I think that if the stoppers have to be set at a different length means that hood OR bumper are not straight, and this is what I'm trying to understand
