HOOD ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: The hood attaching holes are enlarged to aid front, back and side to side adjustment.

1. Check the hood alignment.
2. If hood is low in relation to cowl panel, insert shims between hinge and hood.
3. Adjust hood bumper in or out to adjust hood-to-fender height alignment.
4. Adjust the hood latch as necessary. Tighten the nuts to 11 N.m (8 ft. lbs.).
5. Align the latch striker so that striker enters the latch squarely and without binding.
