• Q: How to replace the hood latch on 2004 Cadillac Seville?

  A: Opening the hood enables you to start your replacement of the Hood Latch by removing the upper filler panel first. The fasteners securing the Hood Latch to the Hood Latch support need removal before the Hood Latch support can be taken out of the Hood Latch. Detach the hood release cable that is attached to the Hood Latch. Install the hood release cable to the Hood Latch while placing the Hood Latch onto the Hood Latch support. Fasten the Hood Latch to its support by using all fasteners which must be tightened up to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Examine the Hood Latch alignment while lowering the hood before performing any adjustment procedures. The hood installation process concludes with the replacement of both the upper filler panel followed by hood closure.
