my engine covers actually pops up by its self about 25% of the time. I know of no easy way to adjust it. One nice thing about being a smoker. . .I lift up the corner of the engine cover, put my lighter between the engine cover, and the rear fascia, and can then pop the cover by myself. . . I helped someone jump start their car a few months ago, and they asked if the lighter was standard equipment (I think they were joking) :) Michael Babb -----Original Message----- From: BondAtomic@xxxx [mailto:BondAtomic@xxxx] Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2000 6:47 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Engine cover I was wondering: How would you open the engine cover when you are alone? As you know, I am not a DeLorean expert, but I need two people to open the engine cover. I lift the louvres up, and they stay up, and when I pull the engine cover-release, I need someone to lift it up. Is it supposed to pop up by itself?
