How to remove the front face of a Haval H6?

To open the front hood of the Haval H6, you need to use the release switch located below the driver's side in the cabin, to the left of the brake pedal. Pull the switch to open the hood. The Haval H6 hood insulation is secured with plastic clips, which can be pried off directly by pulling them downward. Below is additional relevant information: 1. After pulling the switch, you will hear the hood release, but it will not rise automatically as there is an additional latch located in the middle of the hood. You can reach in by hand to feel the latch, which is recessed inside. Once located, lift it upward to fully open the hood. 2. When closing the hood, ensure the hydraulic struts are properly repositioned to avoid potential noise or damage to the hood during closure.
I have quite some experience in removing the front bumper of a Haval H6, and even novice car enthusiasts can do it themselves. First, prepare the necessary tools: a Phillips screwdriver and a plastic pry bar are essential. Park on level ground, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake—safety first. The front bumper is usually secured with screws under the rear hood, near the grille. Use the screwdriver to remove them carefully to avoid losing them. Then, gently pry open the clips along the edges of the bumper with the pry bar. Haval's clips are quite fragile, so avoid using excessive force to prevent breakage, which could damage the paint. Next, disconnect the wiring connectors for the fog lights or sensors—don’t yank them; just press down lightly on the plugs. The whole process requires patience. I’ve removed it a few times for exterior modifications or to clean accumulated dust inside. When reinstalling, align the clips and press them firmly into place. Remember to test the tools first to avoid slipping and damaging the car.
I often DIY the front face removal of the Haval H6—simple and efficient. Prepare an 8mm socket and a clip pry tool to get started. First, remove the screws under the hood, most of which are easily found at the top of the grille. Use a pry bar to loosen the plastic clips along the edge—work quickly without hesitation, as Haval's design has tight-fitting slots requiring finesse to avoid popping them out. Be careful with the wiring in the middle; gently press open the connector ports without pulling the wires. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, and remember to clean the internal dust while you're at it. When reassembling, follow the reverse steps and press the gaps firmly to prevent rattling. This kind of work hones your hands-on skills, saves money, and feels satisfying.
