RE: [DML] Engine cover

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxx>]

I just had the rear (fascia?) off, and while I was in there decided to fix
this exact problem- I don't know if the release spring in there was OEM or
not, but it was VERY weak. I went to the hardware store and got a
(stainless!) spring that was the same length but much stiffer- that seemed
to do the trick. I'm not sure if you'd be able to make this fix with the
rear fiberglass still on... maybe with the right taillight removed and
really small hands? :P

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?
