Hood Bulge Deforming in Sun

My year old hood bulge seems to be deforming In hot sun. When it cools down it goes back to normal looking. Anyone else notice this? @Roman do hood bulges have a warranty?

 

I’d take it to the dealer when it’s hot if it’s under warranty

 

Mine does not do this but damn you have some beautiful flake in your paint...

 

Thanks! 2 coats of chemical Guys Ceramic! Colorado sun is hot......maybe it happens out west? At night the gap is almost invisible again.

 

It should be covered under warranty. Not the first time I've seen this happen, though.

 

Do hood bulges have a purpose... can they be deleted?

 

Probably because you're 5000 feet closer to the sun than we are. I need to see if mine is doing this. It's suppose to be 104 over the next 3 days here in Texas.

 

Technically, they don't serve a purpose other than looks and to cover a hole in the front of the hood. I guess you could take it off if you want. I personally wouldn't recommend it.

 

I noticed mine doing this last weekend. The next morning it was back to normal.

 

Chrome bulges, hate 'em if you must, hide the slight skew and overall look better up close...the 20ft rule changes when you're gazing at color tho...

 

Mine does it slightly as well in extreme heat.

 

I guess it’s a design flaw if the painted hood bulge. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

 

I saw this with the MGM replacement I installed about 6 months ago. I loosened the two outside bolts that hold it in, pushed in the bulge as far as I could, and tightened them again while continuing to apply pressure to the bulge. Seemed to do the trick and my truck gets a lot of CO sun.

 

Great idea! I’ll give that a shot!
