Does your Nissan hood no longer stay as firmly bolted as it once did? Or, does it stick when you try to open the hood? It might be time to consider replacing the Hood Latch of your Nissan. The hood of your Nissan protects your engine and other vital components from weather and debris, but it also needs to be easily opened when your vehicle receives servicing, maintenance, and repairs. The latch is what permits the hood to open when needed and remain closed while you're driving on the interstate. Should the hood not be adequately latched when you're traveling, it can open, impede your view, and fracture your windshield. Your hood latch could also get warped or worn after a minor wreck or deteriorate over time.
Luckily, your Hood Latch is one of the most straightforward parts of your vehicle. When you shut the hood, the latch will then slide over the catch, and the spring pops the latch into place and keeps it intact. When you trigger the hood to open, the cable opens, and assists the latch in bypassing the catch. You can then typically glide your fingers along the underside of the hood to release it.
You could possibly do the installation of the hood latch and assembly on your own, but the process could get a little difficult depending on the year in which your Nissan was manufactured. You should also replace the entire latch assembly all at once, namely the eye and hook.
