Installation
10. Installation is the reverse procedure. Check the installation of the cover in the body opening. The necessary adjustment is made by moving the hinges, having previously loosened the fastening nuts. There should be a uniform gap of approximately 3 mm between the cover and the body in the opening. The height of the hood installation is adjusted by moving the rubber buffers in the rear lower corners of the cover.
