Thanks all! Once again the list pays for itself (oh that's right- its free). I now have my D homework assignment for the weekend. -----Original Message----- From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Derek Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 6:04 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Re: Rear Louvers hitting stainless T-Panel I have an answer to this one just due to my dumb luck. The previous owner had replaced the struts and in the process moved the louvers to where they were hitting the t-panel. Now I have a nice little crease in it :( however I had to remove the louvers when the car needed a tow, so I wanted to replace them where they were not hitting the t-panel plus had enough room to catch the latch. Step one is to completely loosen the latch on the engine cover and move it as far back as you can. Then, with the help of another person (or two, the more the better) loosen the bolts on the clamps holding the louvers. Push the louvers as far forward as you can, but also twist them so the forward bracket is as high as it can be in the column, and the back is as low as it can be. Thhis helped raise the louvers near the t-panel so that (1) they did not hit any more and (2) when looking from the rear of the car, you could not see the roof below the t-panel. Hope this helps. -Derek #10084 [moderator snip] To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
