Looking to replace my oem aluminum hood (for another oem), but I couldn't find any information on this process. Can anyone offer me any instructions and/or tips? I've no idea where to start or what I may be getting into with the windshield wiper lines/nozzles. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

 

Top tip: its easier to remove and install the hood with the hood prop up.

 

Um, disconnect wiper fluid hose. Remove bolts securing hood. Remove hood. Its that simple.

The hard part is making sure hood doesnt fall when you remove bolts, and scratch up your fenders.

Best to have a couple of buddies to hold hood while you remove the bolts.

But I've removed and replaced the hood on my old GM A body muscle car by myself numerous times. That hood is way bigger than S, and it aint aluminum. Trick is use of blankets, and 2x4 to prop hood. With the S you already got a prop. Just put blankets down on cowl, and over fenders, and go slow.

Great, I was hoping it'd be straight forward. Just needed to be sure, thanks!
