  Q: How do you remove and install a hood while ensuring proper alignment and protection for the body and paint on Honda Passport?

  A: To get easy access to the bolts of the hood, one should remove the cowl area and Fenders before placing blankets or pads over the body and painted surfaces before removing and reinstalling the hood. Place pencil dots or write a line around the hood hinge to help in aligning when fixing it during the installation. Pull off any getting on the way screws or nuts, and have someone to hold the hood while unbolting the hinge-to-hood screws or bolts. Remove the hood with help: Regarding installation, it is done in the following order that is the opposite of the removal procedure: To adjust position, the bolt or nut which is fastening the hinge plate must be loosened to allow for the hinge plate slot to be moved to align it to the fore and aft as well as the side to side; mark as appropriate to the hinge plate so as to monitor movement. Tighten the hinge bolts again, lift the hood a shade, tighten the operations hinge bolts and allow the hood to drop to see the position. If necessary, relocate the whole Hood Latch assembly up and downwards and side by side relative to the radiator support with an aim of setting it close to the fenders and taking relevant marks around the latch mounting bolts to enable realignment and re-tightening to be done. Last, but not least, set the two hood bumpers, which are either on the hood or the radiator crossmember, so that the distance between the hood and the fenders is as short as possible when the hood is closed. Both the latches and hinges of the hood assembly should be greased from time to time using white lithium-base grease to avoid problems of binding as well as wear.
