Bonnet adjustment

[JB 3.2]

I would like to adjust the front bonnet on my car for a better fit, at the moment it sits up slightly at the front and could do with pulling down further. What's the best way to do this?

Loosen the locknut on the central lock pin,enough to let you screw up the pin .trying it a little at a time-also check that the 2 rubber buffers ,one ea side allow the bonnet to close closer-they can be scewed up & down by hand.
Don't overdo it as if you slam the bonnet shut too tightly ,you may find it difficult to open it again-you may need an assistant to sit on the bonnet edge whilst you pull the release handle-finally ,tighten up the locknut.

No pin on a 993 they have a catch. The catch can be adjusted but is bolted to the car not the bonnet.

That goes to show how clever one can be in the face of ignorance-I assumed the catch was the same as a 964-doh.[&o]

My bonnet catch on the 964 is adjusted by two (allen) bolts. [&:]
