Does your INFINITI hood no longer stay as securely fastened as it did before? Or, does it stick whenever you try to open the hood? It could be time to replace your INFINITI's 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 easy to open when your vehicle is due for repairs or inspections. The latch allows the hood to open when necessary and remain closed when you're driving down the road. Should the hood not be securely latched while on a street or interstate it could disengage, open mid-drive, block your view, and cause damage to your windshield. These latches can be damaged or twisted after a minor wreck or deteriorate over time.
Fortunately, the hood latch is a very simple component of your INFINITI. Once the hood is shut, the latch slides over a catch, and a spring snaps the latch in place and keeps it intact. When you try to open the hood, the hood latch cable opens, and the latch bypasses the catch. Then, usually, you're able to slide your fingers under the hood to disengage it all the way.
It's possible to replace your hood latch and assembly yourself, but the process could get a little challenging depending on your INFINITI year. It's also best to replace the latch assembly entirely, including the hook and eye.
