hood in the open position. A full width insulating pad is secured by screws to the underside of the hood. A sponge rubber
tubular seal is mounted transversely to wards the front of the hood underside.
Trunk

The trunk lid is of similar construction to the hood, consisting of inner and outer panels clinched and bonded together and
PVC bead sealed. The trunk accommodates the spare wheel, the battery, an electrical carrier containing electrical fuses,
relays and modules and where premium ICE is fitted, a compac t disc auto-changer mounted on body bracketry. Carpet
covered trims line the trunk and are secured by push-fit fasten ers to the sides and front inner panel. The carpet covered,
two-section, removable trunk floor prov ides access to the spare wheel and wheel changing equipment, the battery and
electrical carrier. The floor board rests on the spare wheel, with the front and rear e dges locating in blocks on the fuel tank
backboard and the rear of the body. The support blocks provide for two floor height settings to accommodate either a space
saver or full size spare wheel.A trunk seal retainer covers the re ar of the trunk below the sill. Finisher panels fitted to the
rear lamp units provide for trunk inte rior access to the lamps. The trunk lid underside is fitted with a removable moulded
liner and two trunk illumination lights. Two gas struts fitted between the inner wheel arches and trunk hinges support the
trunk lid in the open position. For some markets, a warning triangle is attached to a bracket on the trunk lid underside. The
trunk is locked by a central latch and stri ker operated by an adjacent electrical actuator, via the central locking system, or
by key operation of a barrel lock located behind the trunk lid badge.
