For 1990-2009 cars

Fore-aft adjustment may be made by moving the hood within the elongated hinge holes.

Vertical adjustment at the front may be made by adjusting the hood bumpers up or down.

### Fore-Aft Adjustment

1. Raise the hood.
2. Support the hood.
3. Loosen the hood (1) mounting bolts.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

4. Adjust the hood to the front fender clearance gap (1) to between 2.5-5.5 mm (0.10-0.22 in) on each side of the hood. Tighten the hood mounting bolts.

5. Remove the hood support.
6. Lower the hood.

### Vertical Adjustment

2. Rotate the hood bumpers (1).
3. Adjust the height of the hood bumpers (1) until hood front clearances are flush at a measurement of within -1.5 to +1.5 mm (-0.06 to +0.06).
4. Lower the hood.
