The correct way of closing the bonet

[simplythebest]

I bet where most of you having the same problem where you don't know which is the proper way of closing the bonet.

Different mechanics with different opinions.

I was told to close the bonet by using both palm press it down slowly, but I was also told to lift the bonet up somewhere the height of a small ruler.

What say you? :tongue:

STB, you shall lift the bonnet and leave it from a higher position. some cars with soft bonnet can't sustain palm size pressure.

fiber bonnet might have different story. Pin.

Well the way depends on diffrent kind of cars. Like mine old Peugeot its better to close the bonnet slowly then press it down gentaly. But for some newer cars that have softer body shell like Kancil its better to drop it at a small gap like 5 finger distance. Just my 2 cents.

Your iron lion is hard, Lone Wolf.

 

[huakenny]

my dad told me....not to 'tekan' th bonnet.....lift it higher n drop it...

*Sorry for broken english:_:

 

[joshua963]

absolutely... kancil bonet u press with ur palm.. can feel it goin in.. so it actually depends on the car i guess..

 

[blackshirt]

Leave and drop, if you press it the lock maybe fail to work, some other one told me, true or not i dont know..

 

[kyheng]

My point of view this is subjective, as long as we don't close it hard then is not a problem. Like mine, as I have a minor accident on front of my car, so the bonet have to use hand to press in order to close it.

same with myvi bonet..if you press with ur palm..forever also no need to close it.. cause its soft like tofu..

I prefer pressing it down as opposed to dropping it from a height..

 

[rollakid]

yeah, me too, i prefer to press it down than drop it, been doing that for like ever since i can remember, cuz car older than me. but some of my mech drop them tho.. dun like the loud clank sound, cuz my bonet is heavy.

Quite a few times my mech tried to drop my CF bonnet. Damn funny they tried 5x also it just land on the latch and cannot close until I had to go and show them how.

 

[TermiziYeoh]

Prozac, err how to proper close a Cf bonnet ?

 

[BlackSamurai]

I prefer pressing it down as opposed to dropping it from a height..

that's because yours is hard.

I did that (close the bonnet by pressing it) to Kancil when I help my lady friend to do a final inspection before, the salesman's reaction damn big, "Mr. Mr. Don't don't close the bonnet like that, you need to close like that (demo it by lifting the bonnet), if not bonnet kemet"

just drop it like its hot.

 

[andy_lka]

wah.....so many ways to close...

but once, there is this mechanic let's call him AH KOW

this ah kow said, we muz slam the bonet, else during high speed travelling in highway, if the bonet is not tight, it will open up n slam ur windscreen....

damn scary, like FD3.........but dunno this ah kow can believe onot....my car still new, u ask me to slam i think twice 1st........butif wut he said is true? better quickly slam it.....hahaha

 

[gohkokeng]

different car different way of closing.........my personal opinion think that PUSH with both palm will more damaging......

i usually hold up about 1 feet the release it.......just hold the bonet ngam ngam u think the bonet will close and not so loud sound.

 

[ken yeang]

my bonet need to press on the far left side, then can close......I think suda aligment lari...suspect the front of the car kena langgar before....
