Bonnet Adjustment?

[chu346]

It seems that my bonnet is sitting too high above the headlights, is there anyway of adjusting it?

The bonnet hinge mechanism that bolts onto the slam panel has some adjustment in it.... loosen the 4 bolts on the slam panel, not the 6 bolts on the bonnet.

Make sure the rubber bump stops are screwed down as well (also found on the slam panel)

You might be able to adjust the bonnet catch mechanism to make it 'pull down' harder, but I'm not too sure about that!

You mean the two either side near the window, I tried that and that don't work. I'll try the rest later

Cheers.

Not the two by the window, but the actual catch mechanism down on the front panel, the bit the interior bonnet release handle is connected to...

Hmm, i'll have a look for that aswell.
