- Friends there are a lot of these older Nissan Altimas still around. If you own one you most likely are carrying a wooden stick to prop the hood open.
If you still have the original rod, in this video I will show you what to order and how to fix the original hood prop.
Those jump packs are a must have. I purchased one and it has paid for itself many times over.
Yes I think that will be my next addition to my collection.
Good video Rick
Thanks, always great to hear from you. I may have told you before. My wife says your a very attractive man.
To all "hood slammers"-- This is not 1934, when cars were built like tanks, of heavy sheet metal. Today, there is no reason to let the hood fall into place from full height.
Instead, lower the hood by hand, and click into place, understanding plastic hood assemblies will break otherwise.
On even an older car, hood slamming takes its toll. The owner of a Buick 1998 could not open its hood because years of slamming had moved the hood lock mounting bolts downward, beyond their normal position.
Greate advice.
Great video Rick! Happy New Year!!! I've replaced the plastic hood clip piece twice. BTW, those Altimas are AWESOMELY reliable. I've owned two with the reliable QR25DE 2.5L. The flock of Nissan hater parrots 🦜🦜 🦜 🦜 squak much louder online than actual owners who own, love and maintain them accordingly. My Altimas outlasted the 2AZ-FE and K24 engines in friends'/co-workers Camrys and Accords with their piston ring defects and excessive oil consumption.
Thanks, as always, nice to hear from you. Still a lot of them on the road. I got this one from a kid who had heavily modified it. He sold it to me for little more than scrap value because after all he did to it, he could not get an inspection sticker. After newmerous visits to the junk yard, I returned it to stock and gave it to my son.
