Is the hood of your Nissan Maxima no longer staying as securely fastened as it once did? Or, does it jam whenever you attempt to open the hood? It could be time to replace your Nissans Hood Latch. The hood of your Nissan protects your engine and other vital components from weather elements and other matter, but it also needs to be easily opened when your vehicle is due for repairs or inspections. The latch is what releases the hood and allows it to open when needed and remain closed while driving down the road. If the hood isnt latched firmly while on a street or interstate it could pop open, obstruct your view, and cause damage to your windshield. Car hood latches can be broken or worn after a minor wreck or fall prey to everyday wear and tear.
Fortunately, the hood latch is a very simple component of your Nissan. Once the hood is shut, the latch will then slide over the catch, and a spring snaps the latch into place and keeps it intact. When you open the hood, the cable opens, and assists the latch in bypassing the catch. And then, you should be able to move your fingers under the hood to unlatch it completely.
You may be able to do the installation of the hood latch and assembly yourself, but the process could get a little challenging depending on your Nissan year. You should also replace the full latch assembly entirely, including the hook and eye.
