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 the hood of your INFINITI no longer staying as securely fastened as it did before? Or, does it jam whenever you attempt opening the hood? It could be time to replace your INFINITI's Hood Latch. Your hood protects your INFINITI 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 maintenance and repair. The latch allows the hood to open when needed and retains the hood while driving on the interstate. Should the hood not be securely latched when you're traveling, it could pop open, obstruct your view, and cause damage to your windshield. Your hood latch could also get damaged or bent in a minor accident or become faulty with age.
The Hood Latch is one of the simplest parts of your car. When the hood is shut, the latch slides over a catch, and a spring snaps the latch in place and locks it down. When you try to open the hood, the cable opens, allowing the latch to bypass the catch. Then, usually, you're able to slide your fingers under the hood to release it.
It's possible to install both your hood latch and assembly at home, but the process might be complicated depending on the year in which your INFINITI was manufactured. You'll also want to consider replacing the full latch assembly entirely, including the hook and eye.
