Adjusting the engine hood (Mondeo 3)

1. Work with the pre-assembled hood strictly step by step according to the order given below - otherwise the pre-stressed hinges may "dance" on you.
2. Align the hood evenly between the fairing and the two fenders (base position).
3. With the hood open, tighten only the rear hinge fastening 2. Do not touch the front fastening 1 yet.
   
   

   Tighten the rear fastening of the hinges 2. 1 - Front fastening.

4. Next, set the front mount 1 all the way up and tighten the screw slightly. The word "slightly" here means that when the hood closes, the hinge still gives a little.
5. Now allow the hood to "drop" slightly onto the hood guard. In this position, the leading edge of the hood should be approximately 10 millimeters above the fender (X).
   
   

   Position of the front edge of the bonnet (X) = 10 millimetres.

6. Open the hood and tighten the front hinge screw.
7. If necessary, after the hood has been completely closed, readjust the pre-tension again.
