HOOD ASSEMBLY : Adjustment











Check the clearance and the surface height between hood and each part by visually and touching.
If the clearance and the surface height are out of specification, adjust them according to the procedures shown below.






1. Remove hood lock and adjust the height by rotating hood bumper rubber side until hood becomes 1 to1.5 mm (0.039 to 0.059 in) lower than fender.
2. Temporarily tighten hood lock, and position by engaging it with hood striker. Check hood lock and striker for looseness and adjust the clearance and evenness with striker to satisfy the specification.
3. Adjust A and B shown in the figure to the following value with hood's own weight by dropping it from approximately 200 mm (7.874 in) height or by pressing hood lightly [approximately 29 N (3.0 kg, 6.5lb)].















4. After adjustment tighten lock bolts to the specified torque.
