Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required
NOTE:
The vehicle must be on all four wheels when adjusting the hood.
The left and right adjusting buffers -2- are not meant for adjusting. Their function is to stabilize and to cushion the hood.
The hood is properly adjusted when there is an overall even gap dimension when closed, it is not too far inward or outward and contours align.
The hood must engage into the latch without using much force.
The nuts -4- and bolts -6- are not removed, just loosened.
