[R129 SL] R129LIST Digest, Vol 8, Issue 16 air inlet filter for passenger compartment/ airconditioner.

Ok George, no mine hood works the same as yours, but for me it is some
time's difficult to get the Wright words and sentences in English. We
have learned school English and now we must do it for technical words
with the words we pick up in mail, discovery channel and so on. And the
hood is fixed with the stop pin when you will let it down, so don't be
afraid that the wind will damaged the hood. But you never know.
 
What I mend was the plastic cover over the air filter. IT is in the
motor area in the middle of the car , just under the wiper arm. 

Now the Californian weather is stopped, and we got a lot of lightning
and storm.
So if the weather will become like the states , We can wait on the
twisters, but in my lifetime we had only two small ones, so we don't
worry.

Jan, maybe my hood configuration is different from yours but a while
back a 
service tech. showed me how to open the hood beyond what is the normal
open 
position.  First, in the normal open position I pull the right side stop
pin 
to allow that side to go slightly more open.  Then I go to the left side
and 
do the same thing.  Once that is done I lift the hood until it stands 
completely vertical and the detents click in and hold it perfectly
vertical 
to allow me to comfortably work at any point on the rear of the engine.
I 
do this inside the garage because I do not want to take the chance that
a 
strong wind can come along a ruin my day (and the car)
