Outlined below is the procedure that must be followed when installing the new felt type liner to the vehicle.

PARTS INFORMATION
AWR4148 - Hood liner (qty. 1)
AFU3711L - Retaining clip (qty. 1)
17/64 drill bit - source locally
PROCEDURE
1. Open hood and secure with prop. Cover engine to protect it from drilling debris.
2. Remove existing large head plastic fittings and old hood liner. Discard old liner.
3. Position new liner on hood. Line up the two liner holes that match the two in the hood. Ensure that the new hood liner fits well into the clip at the rear of the hood. Temporarily fit two of the old retaining clips in place to secure the liner into the correct position.
4. Mark the center position of the remaining holes on the hood inner panel, using the new liner as a template. Remove the liner and discard old clips. Note: Ensure all bare metal surfaces where new holes are drilled are painted.

5. Drill a small pilot hole at each mark. Carefully drill each hole to the correct size 17/64 in (7 mm). It is important that the holes are not drilled oversize as the new clips (AFU3711L) will not fit correctly. The drill has a stop on it to prevent the drill from going in too deep, as this would damage the external hood surface. CAREFULLY COMPLETE This STEP TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE.
6. Clean away any debris from the hood panel. Fit the new hood liner (AWR4148) to the hood and secure it using the new retaining clips (AFU3711L). Again ensure that the liner is fitted into dips at the rear of the hood and that the new retaining clips are pushed in completely.
7. Remove the cover from the engine bay and close hood.
