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 jam when you try to release the hood? It might be time to consider replacing the Hood Latch of your INFINITI. The hood safeguards your engine and its essential parts from weather and debris, but it should also be easily opened when your vehicle undergoes maintenance and repair. The latch is what releases the hood and allows it to open when needed and retains the hood while you're driving down the road. Should the hood not be latched firmly while on a street or interstate it could pop open, block your view, and fracture your windshield. Your hood latch could also get warped or worn in a minor accident or become faulty with age.
Fortunately, the hood latch is a very simple component of your vehicle. When you shut the hood, the latch glides over the catch, and the spring pops the latch in place and holds it tight. When you open the hood, the cable opens, and the latch bypasses the catch. Then, usually, you're able to glide your fingers along the underside of the hood to disengage it.
You could possibly do the installation of the hood latch and assembly on your own, but it may be complicated depending on the year in which your INFINITI was manufactured. You'll also want to consider replacing the full latch assembly all at once, namely the eye and hook.
