No luck. I would recommend just looking at it and disassemble and/or asking a nearby body shop for some pointers. The power of rapport builds bridges. Sorry I could not help personally. Good luck

its pretty straight forward, remove the four bolts from the hood struts, pop out the harness or tube for the windshield fluid sprayers and there u go

hmmmm

i remember writing this up for someone......

in short:

4 bolts approx 12mm (2 on each side)
use flat head to pop up washer nozzle, feed the nozzle through the hood to the right side (driver side) through the hole.
put up the hood shock (flat head) there is a clip holding it in, pop that out
loosen the bolts.

remove hood from car.

you can or wait till hood is off to remove the hood latch.

hood latch:
3 bolts, forgot the sizes i think 8mm? remove those then it comes off.

enjoy seeing your car topless, reinstall by installing bolts first for sides, then route the washer and the hood latch.

any questions shoot me a pm

Can someone explain more about popping out the washer nozzle?

There is a little slot in the washer nozzle housing where you can place a small flat-head screwdriver. Just slowly pull down and out and they will pop out. They are wedged in there fairly tight but they will pop out with a little force. Let me know if you need me to take some pictures. Good luck.
