Why are there so many small holes in the car hood
Small pits on car covers are usually caused by external factors, mainly including external scratches and falling objects. These small pits may be caused by stones or other falling objects falling from the vehicle in front of the car hitting the surface of the engine cover during the process of driving. In addition, if the cover is subjected to a large external impact, such as rubbing, it may also lead to depression. These conditions often occur in poor road conditions or in vehicle-dense environments, where high-altitude throwing is a common cause of small potholes.
How to adjust the gap of the car cover

Adjust the screws that hold the fender in place: The screws that hold the fender in place can be seen on the left and right sides of the hood. After loosening these screws, you can gently pull the fender outward until the hood feels the right width, and then tighten the screws.
