Model 3 Front Hood Adjustment

[SdotJames]

I've adjusted the front hood alignment on my Model 3, per the instructions in the Tesla Service Guide (plus YouTube vids and forum instructions). The Service Guide says to "Re-torque all hardware that was loosened back to factory values." but it doesn't tell you what torque settings to use. Does anyone know? Thanks!

I don't think there would be a critically important torque value for the hood bolts, but common sense would say when tightening them, don't tear your rotator cuff doing it.

Like I stated above, I believe 8 Nm is probably the proper torque value
