NOTE: The bumper cover mounting guide to wing clearance should be 5 mm. For adjustment slacken the guide block securing bolt (7 Fig.1) and reposition the guide block (8 Fig.1). Check for 5 mm clearances between beam assembly to front panel and if necessary turn adjusters to alter beam height to correct setting. On vehicles fitted with energy absorbing struts, adjust struts to achieve 831 mm cross car dimensions between struts.
