Instructions for Removing the Bonnet

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Body

Removing the bonnet requires the assistance of two people to support it during this procedure. Start by locating the plastic cap near the hinge on the driver's side to open it and disconnect the connections and pipes of the windscreen washer system, freeing the bonnet for removal. Once this is done, position yourself with another person, one on each side of the bonnet near the hinges, with the appropriate tools to remove the fixing pins of the bonnet from the hinges and those of the struts, ensuring to always support the bonnet itself, and finally remove it completely.
