Is the hood of your Nissan no longer staying as firmly bolted as it did before? Or, does it get stuck whenever you try to open the hood? It could be time to replace your Nissan Altimas Hood Latch. Your hood protects your Nissan engine as well as other significant car parts from weather and debris, but its equally important for it to be easily accessible when your Nissan undergoes repairs or inspections. The latch allows the hood to open when needed and stay closed while youre driving. If your hood cant stay latched firmly when youre traveling, it can open, obstruct your view, and fracture your windshield. Car hood latches can be broken or twisted after a minor wreck or fall prey to everyday wear and tear.

Luckily, your Hood Latch is one of the most straightforward parts of your car. When the hood is shut, the latch will then slide over the catch, and a spring snaps the latch closed and locks it down. When you trigger the hood to open, the cable opens, and assists the latch in bypassing the catch. Then, usually, youre able to move your fingers under the hood to disengage it completely.

You could possibly install both your hood latch and assembly yourself, but the process could get a little complicated depending on your Nissan year. Youll also want to consider replacing the latch assembly entirely, including the hook and eye.
