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
Is your INFINITI hood not staying as firmly bolted as it did before? Or, does it jam whenever 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 and debris, but it also needs to be easily opened when your vehicle receives repairs or inspections. The latch is what releases the hood and allows it to open when needed and stay closed when you're driving on the interstate. If your hood can't stay adequately latched when you're traveling, it could disengage, open mid-drive, block your view, and damage your windshield. Your hood latch could also get warped or worn after a minor wreck or deteriorate over time.
The Hood Latch is one of the simplest parts of your INFINITI. When the hood is shut, the latch will then slide over the catch, and a spring snaps the latch in place and locks it down. When you try to open the hood, the hood latch cable opens, allowing the latch to bypass the catch. And then, you should be able to glide your fingers along the underside of the hood to unlatch 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 INFINITI was manufactured. You should also replace the entire latch assembly as a whole, including the hook and eye.
