Hood stowage release handle

Postby danbrown100 » Thu 22.10.2015, 14:15

Hi,

It seems as though the nut has come off the back of the fitting holding the handle in the door jam. I was wondering how to access it!

Thanks

Basically, disassemble all of the trim on that side and work thru the opening in the panel behind the "B" Post or Pillar.

IIRC it's accessible from the hood stowage area, remove the carpet and the plastic trim and then it's a dimple reach down.

Thanks guys - handle was lubricated and nut re-tightened. Job done!
