Does your Nissan Altima hood no longer stay as firmly bolted as it once did? Or, does it get stuck whenever you try opening the hood? It may be time for a replacement Nissan Hood Latch. The hood of your Nissan protects your engine and other vital components from road debris and climate conditions, but it should also be easily accessible when your Nissan receives repairs or inspections. The latch allows the hood to open when you need it to and holds down the hood while driving on the interstate. If your hood cant stay adequately latched while on a street or interstate it could pop open, obstruct your view, and damage your windshield. Car hood latches can be damaged or worn after a minor wreck or deteriorate over time.
Fortunately, the hood latch is a very simple component of your Nissan. When you shut the hood, the latch glides over the catch, and the spring pops the latch in place and holds it tight. When you open the hood, the hood latch cable opens, and the latch bypasses the catch. Then, usually, youre able to move your fingers under the hood to disengage it completely.
You may be able to install both your hood latch and assembly yourself, but the process might be difficult depending on your Nissan year. Youll also want to consider replacing the entire latch assembly all at once, including the hook and eye.
