Like the doors and windows in your home, the engine hood on your Nissan uses hinges to close and open. And just like your home's doors and windows, a broken or damaged Hood Hinge (Left) can make opening and closing your hood difficult. Ensure the engine hood on your Nissan is operating correctly with a genuine Nissan Hood Hinge (Left) replacement from Nissan Parts.
A Hood Hinge (Left) on your Nissan's engine hood can be easy to forget about, especially if you're not popping your hood open very often. But just because your hood usually stays closed and latched doesn't mean you should neglect a damaged Hood Hinge (Left)! If you have a loose, damaged, or worn Hood Hinge (Left), you run the risk of your hood lifting or separating from your Nissan from the force of the wind while you drive — whether you're driving highway speeds or taking it a bit slower.
If one hood hinge on your Nissan is damaged and it allows your engine hood to shift while you're driving, the other hood hinge on your Nissan may get damaged as well, causing further repair needs.
To check if your Nissan has a damaged Hood Hinge (Left), open your vehicle's hood. Feel for resistance, and check if the hood opens too much or not enough. Look closely at your Hood Hinge (Left), and inspect it for wear, missing pieces that could have become loose and fallen out, or any other visible damage. Additionally, if your hood squeaks when you open it, it may be a sign of a worn Hood Hinge (Left).
