Bonnet sits too high

Recommended Posts

Hello again

 

I have just replaced the bonnet on my N reg 16v (Don't ask why long story!!!)

 

I have fitted another late spec bonnet, however I have noticed the bonnet catch is different (which is not a problem).

 

However the prob is the bonnet is too high on one side (it is being pushed up by the spring on the corner catch).

 

I have tried to adjust this but it is stuck solid, is there any way to remove this and then make the adjustment.

you have to undo the big bit that looks like a nut, once this is loose you can adjust the spring with a small spanner/thin nose pliars.

It may not be the spring though.

The rubber bung that the bonnet sits on can be adjusted too by turning counter clockwise, it may just be stitting on that.
