2000 Buick Regal Hood Latch Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the primary and secondary hood latch on 2000 Buick Regal?

  A: The replacement process for the hood primary and secondary latch starts with opening the hood then marking the Hood Latch to the Hood Latch support bracket using a grease pencil. Initiate replacement of the Hood Latch by removing mounting bolts before detaching it from its supporting bracket. Detach the Hood Latch release cable from the Hood Latch after squeezing its cable retainer so the cable remains unscathed before moving it away. Before installing the Hood Latch you should connect the Hood Latch release cable to your new Hood Latch while placing it into position based on the marks you have made on the support bracket. The Hood Latch needs to be installed through the center support bracket bolts while tightening them to 25 nm (18 lb ft). Next proceed with adjusting the hood before completely shutting it.
