    • Adjust the hood right and left, as well as forward and rearward, by using the elongated holes in the hood hinges (D).
    • Turn the hood edge cushions (E), as necessary, to make sure the hood fits flush with the body at the front and side edges.
  4. Adjust the hood latch (F) to obtain the proper height at the forward edge, and move the hood latch right or left until the striker (G) is centered in the hood latch.
  5. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
  6. Check that the hood opens properly and closes securely.
  7. Apply touch-up paint to the hinge mounting bolts and around the hinges, and let the paint dry.
