Removal Procedure

IMPORTANT: Install protective coverings over the fenders and the windshield in order to prevent damage to the paint, the glass, and the moldings when you are removing and installing the hood.

Raise and support the hood.
Mark the position of the hinge to the hood to facilitate alignment during installation.
