Recently I was involved in an accident. The bonnet has got misaligned as a result of this.
It does not align with the fenders, The impact was to front right corner and bonnet has moved to right a little.
The front edge of bonnet has more gap on driver side as compared to passenger side. Bonnet now does not open/shut down with a pop. I have to force it down or pull it up. The only thing which I see bent is the "small rod with spring" which keeps the bonnet locked. I can correct that but I do not see that it will fix the alignment. In addition to this the bonnet now does not sit flush with the fenders and the cowl. It is now around 1/4" higher.
How to fix this issue?

Regards,
