Check out this rad engine lid modification Tim did on a project today. Ended up being a really quick mod. The lid only comes off when it's up all the way, so it's really secure when it's latched. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

Unless there's a simple add-on device to make this happen, I don't see many owners performing surgery on their lid (it's not a Honda).
The factory engine lid is too heavy to make everyday R&R convenient. Suggest a lightweight lid alternative; perhaps similar in appearance to the factory lid, with quick disconnect features. I'm surprised there already isn't a FG option. FWIW, I leave mine off because I'm in the engine compartment so often. Security-wise, the battery would be the most sought-after item in there (maybe the dipstick too). There are solutions for those scenarios. S |
