Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Buick LeSabre. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. With the aid of helper, install the hood (1) to the body. See Figure.
    CAUTION: 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.
  2. Install the bolts (2) that retain the upper hood hinge (3) to the lower hood hinge (5). Tighten the bolts (2) to 9 N.m (80 lb in).
  3. Install the hood assist rods. Refer to ASSIST ROD REPLACEMENT-HOOD .
  4. Connect the underhood lamp electrical connector.
  5. Adjust the hood, if necessary. Refer to HOOD ADJUSTMENT .
  6. Using touch up paint, touch up any exposed or unpainted surface after the hood is installed.
  7. Remove the tape from the hood and the fenders.
