RE: [DML] Engine cover

["Steven Gilseth" <sgilseth@xxxx>]

I have the same problem on my car. I haven't determined the problem yet but
from a quick visual inspection on my car the rear facia is binding with the
engine cover. Also one of the engine cover support pegs ( one on each
side ) is missing. I am guessing that is why mine doesn't open.

My solution is I keep a piece of string in my car about three feet in length
that I loop around the engine cover latch and then by reaching in and
pulling the lever and the string at the sametime. Presto - I can open my
engine cover by myself. Works for me until I can fix the real problem.

I was wondering: How would you open the engine cover when you are alone? As
you know, I am not a DeLorean expert, but I need two people to open the
engine cover. I lift the louvres up, and they stay up, and when I pull the
engine cover-release, I need someone to lift it up. Is it supposed to pop up
by itself?
