hey thanks that worked fine. it shuts with no problem. i feel stupid for not thinking of that before. duh marc one.-MARCUS

 

 

I have the AUS snorkle. On MY '02 it fit perfectly, the hood did not rub it. On MY '03, it rubs a lot and after a lot of hood adjusting (which the dealer didn't know how to do) the hood closes but sits slightly high on one corner...

I don't know what the difference is between years, it must be small variances in build tolerances.

 

yeah thats what im thinking since i also got an my03 aswell-thanks

Duh....I forgot Marc one there is something else I've done that you can do. You can lower the airbox a little by taking off the front corner mounting bolt, then take out the metal insert from the rubber bushing and tightening it down. The metal insert provides a stand-off & the rubber bushing dampens vibrations in the airbox (I guess). It should gain you about 1/8" or so.

 

VFROOM-thanks
Im gonna go check that out right now. I raised the hood bracket up jus a notch and wanna get it almost to where it sits perfect(where ever that is). MARCUS

 

i just adjusted the hood latch a bit, now one corner sits slightly high as well, but I'm will to live with that to prevent damage to the intake
