You need to remove the trim panel from the rear shelf to access the nuts that hold the hinge to the fiberglass body. > -----Original Message----- > From: fluxmcfly [mailto:bfreyguy@xxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 8:27 PM > To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [DML] how do you fix cracks in lower engine cover? > > > I have one crack in my lower engine cover and one bolt is broken off > the hinge.How can you fix this crack,can you use bondo or > some type fiberglass.Does anybody know how to remove the hinge from > the car?
