Lock Hood.
A latch that secures the hood to the vehicle body when shut.

• Keeps your hood securely shut when not open

• Replace when damaged or failing

Is your INFINITI hood not staying as securely fastened as it once did? Or, does it get stuck when you try opening the hood? It may be time for a replacement INFINITI Hood Latch. The hood of your INFINITI protects your engine as well as other significant car parts from weather elements and other matter, but it should also be easily opened when your vehicle receives repairs or inspections. The latch is what releases the hood and allows it to open when necessary and retains the hood when you're driving down the road. If the hood isn't securely latched while on a street or interstate it could pop open, block your view, and fracture your windshield. Your hood latch could also get damaged or worn in a minor accident or deteriorate over time.

Luckily, your Hood Latch is one of the most straightforward parts of your INFINITI. When the hood is shut, the latch will then slide over the catch, and a spring snaps the latch into place and locks it down. When you trigger the hood to open, the hood latch cable opens, allowing the latch to bypass the catch. You can then typically slide your fingers under the hood to disengage it.

You could possibly replace your hood latch and assembly on your own, but it may be complicated depending on your INFINITI year. It's also best to replace the latch assembly as a whole, namely the eye and hook.
