Hood: Description and Operation

Hood

The hood consists of one piece inner and outer panels clinched and bonded together, with cosmetic bead PVC sealant applied to all clinch joints. The hood pivots at the front on two hinges each secured by bolts to the hood front underside and the BIW front upper crossmember. Two gas struts secured to the hood by pivot pins and snap-on couplings, support the hood in the open position.
