Lock Hood.
A latch that secures the hood to the vehicle body when shut.
- Keeps your hood securely shut when not open
- Releases to let you open your hood when needed
- Replace when damaged or failing
Does your INFINITI hood no longer stay as firmly bolted as it once did? Or, does it stick when you try opening the hood? It could be time to replace your INFINITI's Hood Latch. The hood safeguards your engine as well as other significant car parts from road debris and climate conditions, but it's equally important for it to be easily opened when your vehicle is due for repairs or inspections. The latch is what permits the hood to open when necessary and stay closed when you're driving down the road. Should the hood not be securely latched while on a street or interstate it can open, block your view, and damage your windshield. Your hood latch could also get broken or bent during an accident or become faulty with age.
Fortunately, the hood latch is a very simple component of your INFINITI. Once the hood is shut, the latch glides over the catch, and the spring pops the latch closed and holds it tight. When you trigger the hood to open, the cable opens, and the latch bypasses the catch. And then, you should be able to slide your fingers under the hood to release it all the way.
You may be able to install both your hood latch and assembly on your own, but it may be complicated depending on your INFINITI year. You should also replace the latch assembly entirely, namely the eye and hook.
