Ford 4S4Z-16612-AB Hood

To take off the hood, it is needed to open it and keep it at this position with the help of the stay. Remove the negative battery terminal, and free the wires from the jets at the bottom, as well as removing them from female clips at the hood. Further remove the windshield washer wiring connector at the bottom of the jets, and make sure that it is unclipped from the hood. To facilitate the adjustment of the hood during the installation, draw the outline of the hinges; thereafter, remove the two hinge retaining bolts on each side. In this case, with the aid of an assistant, one is supposed to turn the four bolts counterclockwise to make way and set free the stay, and in the end, raise the hood off the car. For installation, reverse the removal procedure and it should be noted that the hood hinges should be placed inside the outlined marks for an equal space between the hood and the wall. To change the front height raise or lower the lock and rotate the soft pad on the front cross panel of the engine compartment up or down for support to the hood.
