The hood is somewhat difficult to adjust and rotate; therefore, this process should be done by at least two persons. Start by lifting the car and putting blankets or pads on the fenders and the cowl area to avoid body and paint damages. Any cables or wires that may hinder the removal process should be disconnected: the windshield washer tubing from the nozzles on the hood in this instance. Place an 'x' at the side of the hood or draw a line around the hood hole before removing it for better repositioning. For the year 2007 post the locator use a small screwdriver to pull out the upper retaining clip and remove the hood support strut. The other set should be loosened from the inside by an assistant as you hold the hood, then take off the hinge-to-hood bolts and raise the hood. The process of installation is the exact opposite of what has been mentioned above, and the bolts of the hinge are placed into the marks identified. For regulation, one can shift hinge plate slot after removing the bolts or nuts in order to align in the fore-and-aft as well as on the side-to-side. Write a line around the hinge plate to show distance traveled; then, using a wrench, unscrew the bolts or nuts and move the hood slightly at a time, tightening the hinge bolts when you test the position. If required, reposition the entire hood latch assembly up-and-down and left-right on the radiator support and ensure that it properly and tightly closes against the fenders before tightening and marking the dimensions of the latch. Last but not the least, it is essential to align the hood of the car by using the adjusting screws present on the side of the radiator support and moving the hood bumpers clockwise or counter clockwise to decrease the hood height, or increase the fender height while closing the same; this enables one to keep the car's hood closed properly against the fenders of the car. The opening hood and backup light assembly and the hood hinges should be lubricated by lithium-base grease sometimes in order to address lacks of proper lubrication or wear.

HOOD WOULD NEED TO BE PRIMED AND PAINTED.
