Dodge Colt Hood
The Dodge Colt Hood helps keep the engine bay protected from the elements and damage while providing easy access for regular work. Over its long life, the Dodge subcompact line has retained a front hinged Hood that protects vital components from rain, dirt, and road debris. It also directs air flow over the body, aiding aerodynamics. Many early Colt models incorporated a steel Hood panel as standard equipment due to its strength and predictable crumple behavior in a collision situation. Later, the Dodge version introduced aluminum panels that save weight but do not bring down the protection level. Furthermore, there are optional fiberglass Hood lids that come with a gelcoat finish. This option is for drivers who want an even lighter feel and easier painting match. Every Hood, irrespective of material, opens on integrated hinges and latches securely to ensure a tight seal while allowing easy lifting for service. Those owners comparing styles should know that steel resists dents better, aluminum fights rust, and fiberglass keeps overall vehicle mass down to allow any Dodge Colt to be efficient and stylish.

- Q: How do you remove and refit bonnet on Dodge Colt?A:Open the hood fully and prise off the clip retaining the stay to the body. Mark the position of the hinges on the hood, unbolt them, and with assistance, lift the hood from the car. If the hinges need to be removed, take off the radiator grille and headlamp bezel. Extract the grille securing screws and remove the grille, being careful with the headlamp bezel as it has two positioning lugs that can break if handled roughly. The hood latch is bolted to the engine compartment rear bulkhead, and both the latch and the release cable can be removed by unscrewing the latch bolts and the release cable support bracket bolts inside the car. Refitting is the reverse of removal, ensuring not to fully tighten the hinge or latch bolts until the hood is checked for closure, with any necessary adjustments made using the hinges or latch within the limits of their elongated bolt holes.
