Note: To adjust the hood 5, the vehicle must be on the ground.
Fig. 8.24. Adjusting the hood
The adjustable left and right stops 7 do not serve to adjust the hood. The task is to balance the hood 5 and ensure vibration absorption (Fig. 8.24).
The bonnet 5 is adjusted correctly if, when closed, there are equal gaps on all sides and it does not protrude either forward or backward and is flush with the fenders.
The hood 5 should snap into the lock without significant force.
Remove hook 6.
Remove gas strut 8 from hood 5 (Fig. 8.24).
By loosening, but not unscrewing, bolts 1 and bolts 3 on the left and right sides on the bonnet hinges 4, the bonnet 5 can be positioned in the center between the wings.
At the rear, the hood 5 can be adjusted in height relative to the front fenders using the adjusting screws 2 on the right and left.
Make sure the gaps are even.
After adjustment, measures should be taken to provide anti-corrosion protection for hinge 4, bolts 1 and 3 (Fig. 8.24).
After adjusting the hood 5, install and adjust the lock hook 6.
