About the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-2500-Crew Hood

The hood (or bonnet) is the hinged cover over the engine compartment, providing access for maintenance and protecting the engine from weather and debris. Hood damage from accidents, hail, or falling objects is common, making replacement hoods popular used parts. A color-matched used hood can save hundreds compared to body shop repairs and painting.

Replacement Guide

Hood replacement is one of the simpler body panel swaps. The process involves: propping open the old hood, marking hinge positions with tape for alignment reference, disconnecting washer fluid lines if equipped, having a helper support the hood while you remove hinge bolts, and lifting off the old hood. Installation is the reverse - position the new hood, start hinge bolts, align the hood with fenders and grille, then tighten. Adjustment is done through the slotted hinge holes. A color-matched hood eliminates paint cost.
