Fender gap

Looking in the manual for adjustment to narrow the fender/hood gap. I have a larger than 5mm RHS gap and have no trouble with the shift laterally of the hood. The manual, AFAIK does not articulate how to go about bringing the fender line closer to the hood. Anyone BTDT with wisdom to share?

There is no adjustments to the fender.
You might take the fender off the car and bang in the top of the inner fender thats its bolts to. But it might make the fender to close to the A-pillar. Or the gap may not be straight.
 
It is primarily the hood that wasn't adjusted after a respray, but thank you. FSM on hood alignment seems pretty simple.
 
As Martin said... you'll have to adjust the hood. Depending on the adjustment, it may or may not be simple.

Length is good, so it's just lateral and that's kind of easy isn't it?
