How to Replace the Hood Trim on a Mercedes SLK

Model: Mercedes Slk R170, MK 1 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Electric cooling fan

How to replace the hood trim on a Mercedes SLK? Let’s see how to proceed: using a screwdriver (unscrew the screws), remove the side plastic trims covering the edges on either side of the hood, then, unscrew with a spanner or socket the nuts located on it (if present). Once the screws are removed, move the hood back (as shown in the video). Detach the plastic trims of the hood from the upper side of the car and remove the hood trim from the frame of the car's convertible roof. Finally, remove the new hood trim and prepare to reattach the plastic trims with the securing screws.

How to Remove the Front Bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso?

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part. The new part can then be secured and connected properly, ensuring it is correctly fixed in place.
