The removal of the grille is necessary before beginning Hood Latch replacement. You should employ a grease pencil or appropriate marking instrument to label the latch position on the radiator support. The first step consists of removing both the Hood Latch support along with all the bolts that connect the latch to the radiator support . First disconnect the Hood Latch cable from the latch before taking out the latch from your vehicle. The Hood Latch installation requires attaching the cable to its latch before placing it at the marked spot on the radiator support. The radiator support bolts need to be installed into their respective position before tightening them to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Secure the Hood Latch support into position while using bolts that you will tighten to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Before closing the hood check the operation of the latch while making sure the latch aligns correctly with the hood striker and needs adjustment if required. Finally, reinstall the grille.

The replacement of hood primary and secondary latch begins after removing the grille. Use a grease pencil to draw marks at the position of the latch on the radiator support. Initiate the process by taking out both the Hood Latch support assembly and bolts securing it to the radiator support. Separate the Hood Latch cable from the latch while taking out the latch from the entire vehicle. After cable attachment to the latch you should place it at the previously marked location on the radiator support. Secure the bolts which retain the latch to the radiator support at 10nm (89lb in). Fasten the Hood Latch support through bolts which should be tightened to 10 nm (89 lb in). Examine the latch function before hood closure then inspect the latch fitting with the hood striker for alignment which may need adjustment if necessary. Finally, reinstall the grille.

Begin by removing the grille because it is the first step to replace the hood primary and secondary latch. Apply a grease pencil along with an appropriate marker to determine where the latch will go on the radiator support. The first step entails removing the Hood Latch support and all the bolts which keep the latch secured to the radiator support. Disconnect the Hood Latch cable from its place on the latch and then extract the latch from the automobile. Installation requires users to attach the Hood Latch cable to the lid while placing it where the previous mark exists on the radiator support. Tighten the bolts that retain the latch to the radiator support to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Then install the Hood Latch support and secure its bolts with same torque value. Test the latch functionality by inspecting it before closing the hood while adjusting the alignment between the hood striker and latch if needed. Finally, reinstall the grille.

You must eliminate the grille first then note down the latch's position on the radiator support through pencil marking. First separate the Hood Latch carrier from the radiator support by unfastening bolts which secure the latch to its position. Then disconnect the Hood Latch cable from the mechanism and detach the Hood Latch from the automobile body. Then install the Hood Latch by connecting its cable to the latch before setting the latch at the marked position on the radiator support. Screw the bolts into the radiator support before tightening them to 10 n.m (89 lb in), then attach the Hood Latch support by installing its retaining bolts which must be tightened to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Inspection of the latch operation should occur before reattaching the hood while a striker-hood alignment check will determine if adjustments to alignment are required.
