Use a 10mm socket on a short extension 3/8" drive.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

to top it off I replaced my drivers-side vanity mirror lid too - parts from Sunset. Talked my wife into holding it up while I soldered it. Already had done 'her' side.
Now I need to replace the drivers side headlight washer assembly - assuming that all I gotta' do is pull the headlight.
when the headlight comes loose from turning the release - it makes a sound that might scare the pants off you like "Sh#@ I just broke the frickin headligh?"
its normal... then a little gentle wiggle while turning the release and it will slide right out - when installing... wiggle very gently so it "falls in" while feeling the release lever with the tool... THEN tighten the release - again - BIG ole SNAP... a bit scary, but normal
Hi! Just to make sure I order the right part, do you have the part number for the hood latch assembly that you ordered? Would be great to have this working right!
Thanks!
Cewitanlee - 996-511-053-02 from Sunset: list $144.81, YOUR price: 111.57. Be sure to order some more stuff since it best to consolidate shipping. Need pollen filter??? Clear side set? etc.
You can adjust the position of latch by unscrewing the two bolts holding to the front part of the bumper and move it up or down. I bought a new one and while replacing it found the latch mechanism to be adjustable. Try that first.
...but by all means, try to adjust it first. But if it does not pop up and your hood edge is ok, you likely need a new latch. When you replace yours, you will need to transfer a little clip from the old from your old electrical connection to the new one (it holds the connection tight to the sheet metal in the boot area behind the felt lining). You will see what I mean after you take the electrical part 'apart'.
I wonder if the MY02s and later have the same up/down hood front adjustment? Mine always seems a bit lower than the front bumper. I know I looked at it carefully, but I never noticed it was adjustable...I'll have to look again.
Use a 10mm socket on a short extension 3/8" drive. You will ned to remove the soft black plastic water deflector panel first though - just use a flathead screwdriver and turn the four little plastic hold-down screws 1/4 turn to release it - be careful you don;t lose them, they simply fall out if not carefull. You will then sort of pry it up and peel it out between the rubber weatherstripping and turn it as necessary to clear the release lever. It's kind of a pain to re-install it, but you'll get the hang of it. Just take your time and plan to spend an hour. Just loosen the two bolts a tad and you can move the mechanism it up/down and a teeny bit side to side. You may want to outline the mechanism with a Sharpie marker first in case you want to get it back to where it was before.
Be advised that you don't have to move it very much to make a difference in how the edges line up!
