Is your Nissan hood not staying as firmly bolted as it once did? Or, does it jam whenever you attempt to release the hood? It could be time to replace your Nissans Hood Latch. The hood of your Nissan protects your engine as well as other significant car parts from road debris and climate conditions, but it should also be easily accessible when your Nissan is due for servicing, maintenance, and repairs. The latch allows the hood to open when needed and remain closed when youre driving down the road. If your hood cant stay securely latched while on a street or interstate it can open, impede your view, and damage your windshield. Your hood latch could also get damaged or worn after a minor wreck or fall prey to everyday wear and tear.
Luckily, your Hood Latch is one of the most straightforward parts of your vehicle. When you shut the hood, the latch glides over the catch, and a spring snaps the latch in place and keeps it intact. When you open the hood, the cable opens, and the latch bypasses the catch. Then, usually, youre able to glide your fingers along the underside of the hood to release it all the way.
You could possibly do the installation of the hood latch and assembly on your own, but the process might be complicated depending on the year in which your Nissan was manufactured. Its also best to replace the latch assembly entirely, namely the eye and hook.
