RE: [VWdrivers] Hood Exchange...

[Chuck Simpson <Csimpson@zeltech.com>]

I bought mine from the dealer for $152.50 USD.  I thought that
wasn't too bad for a new hood.  You just have to get it painted...
which is another thing I have to do before I put those suckers
on.

Thanks,

-Chuck

I'm looking to do this myself, just haven't found a willing Golf hood
donor
yet.

Simple. Remove hoses, remove nozzles (you kinda have to tilt them a bit
to
pull them out), remove ground strap, unbolt hood. Unplug wires too if
you
have the heated versions.
