HoodAdjustment
NOTE: Before adjusting the hood, remove the support strut from each side of the hood, and loosen each hood mounting bolt slightly.
1. Adjust the hood right and left, as well as fore and aft, by using the elongated holes on the hood hinge.
2. Turn the hood edge cushions, as necessary, to make the hood fit flush with the body at front and side edges.
3. Adjust the hood latch to obtain the proper height at the forward edge.
4. After adjustment, tighten each bolt securely.
5. Apply touch-up paint to the hinge mounting bolts and around the hinges.
NOTE: Move the hood latch right or left until the striker is centered in the hood latch as shown.
