- Keeps your hood securely shut when not open
- Releases to let you open your hood when needed
- Replace when damaged or failing
Is your Nissan hood not staying as firmly bolted as it once did? Or, does it get stuck whenever you try to release the hood? It may be time for a replacement Nissan Hood Latch. Your hood protects your Nissan engine and its essential parts from weather elements and other matter, but it also needs to be easily opened when your vehicle is due for maintenance and repair. The latch is what permits the hood to open when needed and remain closed while driving on the interstate. Should the hood not be securely latched while on a street or interstate it could pop open, block your view, and damage your windshield. Your hood latch could also get warped or bent during an accident or fall prey to everyday wear and tear.
The Hood Latch is one of the simplest parts of your car. When you shut the hood, the latch glides over the catch, and the spring pops the latch closed and locks it down. When you open the hood, the hood latch cable opens, allowing the latch to bypass the catch. Then, usually, you're able to move your fingers under the hood to disengage it completely.
It's possible to install both your hood latch and assembly at home, but it may be complicated depending on your Nissan year. You should also replace the full latch assembly all at once, as well as the hook and eye.
