Removal, installation and adjustment of a cowl

Withdrawal

1. Open the hood and lock it in the open position.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3. Release the clips on the insulator located on the underside of the hood to access the windshield washer hoses and the engine compartment light. It is not necessary to remove the insulator.

4. Disconnect the wiring from the engine compartment light and remove the wiring from the hood.

5. Remove the ground wire bolt from the hood (see fig. 8.5).



6. Disconnect the windshield washer hoses from the nozzles and detach the hose from the hood.

7. It is recommended to mark the position of the hinges on the hood for correct installation later. To do this, circle the loop along the contour with a soft pencil. Loosen the two mounting bolts on each hinge on each side of the hood (see fig. 8.7).



8 Remove the four bolts, remove the support that secures the hood, and together with the assistant remove the hood from the car (see fig. 8.8).

Installation

9. Installation - in the reverse order of removal. Install the hood hinges according to the marks made during removal. If necessary, you can adjust the hinges so that the gap between the hood and body panels is the same in all places. The height of the rear hood is adjusted by shifting it relative to the hinges. The height of the hood at the front is adjustable by moving the lock (paragraph 10) and turning rubber buffers located on the panel in the engine compartment (see fig. 8.9).
