Similar to the doors and windows on your house, your Nissan's engine hood relies on hinges to open and close. And just like your home's doors and windows, a damaged or broken Hood Hinge (Left) can make opening and shutting your engine hood problematic. Keep your Nissan engine hood working like it should with a genuine replacement Hood Hinge (Left) from Nissan Parts.
A Hood Hinge (Left) on your Nissan may seem like an easy part to overlook, especially if you aren't opening your engine hood very often. But just because your hood usually stays closed and latched doesn't mean an old or damaged Hood Hinge (Left) should be ignored! If your engine hood has a damaged, worn, or loose 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, there's a chance your other Nissan hood hinge can become damaged in the process, leading to added repair needs.
To find out if your Nissan requires a new Hood Hinge (Left) replacement, open your vehicle's hood. Check to see if your hood is hard to open, won't open all the way, or opens too much. Perform a visual inspection of your Hood Hinge (Left), and look for signs of wear, loose or missing pieces that could have fallen out while driving, or cracks. Additionally, if your hood squeaks when you open it, it may be a sign of a worn Hood Hinge (Left).
