BODY PANEL REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

The rear wing, snorkel cover, and bonnet are all ret ained with quick-release fasteners. The fasteners are the
same size and grip length, and there may or may not b e rubber washers under them. Use of washers is
dependent on best fit, so be sure that the same fastener s and washers are reinstalled in the same location. To
release the fasteners, pull the handle out and rotate the fastener one quarter turn counter-clockwise, then p ull
out gently. Some of the washers come with a retainer a nd some do not. For washers that are not retained, be
sure to collect the washers as they are released from the fasteners. To reinstall fasteners that are not retained,
insert the fastener into the hole, and then turn clock wise until it engages. At this point, turn the fastener an
additional one quarter turn to seat it and fold the handle down flush with the body. The bonnet is retain ed by
three fasteners, one of which is hidden on the lower surface at the front of the vehicle.
