Re: [DML] Engine cover

["Joe LoRe'" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

A sticking engine cover is a common problem caused by warpage of the rear
fascia. The cover is adjustable by loosening the hinge nuts and
repositioning the cover as far forward as possible. If this does not solve
the problem the cover can easily be opened by one person by doing the
following.

There is enough room at either the left or right rear corner to pull the
cover up slightly with your index finger, place a wedge (a wallet works
great) between the cover and fascia, than pull the release handle to release
the latch.
