Adjusting the Bonnet

[shifty_kent]

Hi guys,
I bought a new cf bonnet for my dc2 integra, and am having problems fitting it.
I've tried playing around with the following
1. Washers in the bolts
2. rubber stoppers at the front
But i still can't get rid of the gap at the front. Its locking
and everything, but its not sitting flush. Anyways what i wanna know
is if it is possible to adjust the latch? like tighten it?
Any ideas would be appreciated

if you can, please post a pic on how much the gap is, that would make it easier for us to determine a solution.

my bonnet can slide as there's a groove for the bolt (as opposed to a hole)...

dunno if yours is the same or not...

just loosen the bolts and see if it moves forward is the logical thing to do

Move it down a little, tighten it, then close the bonnet and see if its any better. Repeat it if you need to go any lower. Also don't forget to adjust the rubber stoppers on either side, these screw in or out with your finger also to adjust the height of the bonnet. :D

This is spot on, try this and it should sort out the issue no worries. Great post DLO01.

hey which part of the bonnet is stickin up.. if its the part close to windscreen.. stickin up den leave it lol.. full jap racing spec.. regard the latch.. i think its possible to adujust it up and down.. so that the bonnet goes down further not 100% sure.. but from what i can remember with my car i think you can..

thanks all... i tried to remove the bolts, but i can't acess them with my wrench.. its too big... gonna need to get myself a smaller one or spanner... i'll let
u guys know how it goes... cheers :)

probably easier for you just to remove the front bumper...
i had to do it to an ek to get to the bolts.. much easier that way..
entirely up to you the way you want to do it though.

else socket wrench with an extension can reach :)
