Title: Bonnet adjustment---help
Post by: cossy on March 09, 2010, 09:43:51 am

Noticed over the weekend the corners of the bonnet at the windscreen end which should be flush with the wings are now higher than the wings.

Need to adjust it down a little, but how?

There is a single screw like adjuster but didnt change much when adjusted.

Also should the bonnet just rise up when opened without pushing it up?

Cheers :wink:

It requires one small push up then it should go on its own

I reckon a post in the General area would do the trick. This section just doesn't get as much views!  :sad1:
