How to Install Cervini's 2.5 in. Cowl Induction Hood - Unpainted (05-09 GT, V6) on your Ford Mustang

Notice: Prefi t Before Painting!
Painted or Altered Parts are Non-Refundable

STEP 1: Remove the striker bar from the factory hood and install it with Locktite® to your new hood

STEP 2: Adjust hood until proper alignment with matching panels is achieved.

STEP 3: Adjust primary latch until the striker bar fi ts into the latch. Make sure when the hood is closed you can hear the striker bar “click” into the latch.

STEP 4: After you here it click, test it to be sure it’s working properly by grabbing the front edge of the hood and slowly pulling upward with a steady even pressure. If the hood opens it’s not adjusted properly; repeat STEP 3 until hood cannot be pulled open after it’s closed.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE SAFETY CATCH IS WORKING PROPERLY!

STEP 5: To ensure the safety catch is working properly, close the hood, pull the hood release from inside the car and the hood will partially open. Slowly pull upward on the hood and jiggle it at the same time. If it opens without pulling the safety catch lever then the latch needs to be readjusted. The safety catch prevents the hood from opening in the event the primary latch fails.

STEP 6: Locate the hood stoppers located on the radiator support. Adjust upward until they apply a small amount of pressure to the underside of the hood when it is closed. This will prevent the hood from shaking or rocking. Install squirters as shown in Fig. A. (You may need to bend the squirters into position.)

STEP 7: After all adjustments have been made, apply loctite to the bolts that secure the latch bar to the hood. Reinstall the weather striping on the rear of the hood. You will need to cut it so that it does not cross over top of the squirters. Then run the squierter hose thorough the weather striping.
