How we remove the hood of a Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Convertible top

How do we remove the hood of a Smart Fortwo? Let's see in this video how to proceed: with a screwdriver we remove the side plastic cover edges placed on the sides of the hood, then, unscrew the nuts placed on it with a fixed key or socket wrench (if present). Once the nuts are unscrewed, let's move the top back. We detach the metal bars where the soft top slides (on the upper side of the car). We remove the retaining hooks of the soft top placed on the frame of the opening frame of the car. Finally, remove the hood from the car body and get ready to mount a new one with hooks and stops included.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
