2009 GMC Envoy Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the primary and secondary hood latch on 2009 GMC Envoy?

  A: The beginning operation for replacing the hood primary and secondary latch involves removing the grille. Apply a grease pencil on the mounting bracket to mark where the latch needs to be but choose a suitable marking tool for this task. The bolts securing the latch to the mounting bracket must be taken out before disconnecting the Hood Latch cable from the latch through latch removal. Illuminating the mounting bracket with a marking tool lets you locate the portion where you will install the Hood Latch cable. Then attach the cable to the latch before positioning its component at the marked bracket spot. Place the latch retention bolts onto the mounting bracket then tighten them to 10 nm (89 lb in). Perform a proper function check of the latch after fitting the new hood light and verify that the latch aligns correctly with the hood striker by adjusting it where needed. Finally, reinstall the grille.
