Thanks for a super clear and detailed explanation. The best, I’ve seen on CZcams!
Glad it helped.
OK good.but you didn't show us how to open the bonnet with a stuck or broken cable!!
Right
My issue at the moment.
That was a really good patient explanation of possible reasons why the hood won't open. The video images were clear and so were the explanations.
Glad it helped. Appreciate the feedback.
Hello, thank you for your video. It helped me get ideas on how to fix my latch hood problems with a Toyota Matrix 2014. I have saved about $150 in labor. No material change. With a little assistance from my wife, what a feeling of success when we fixed the hood latch issue. Thank you.
Hey, so glad it helped.
This video helped me to understand how to fix my hood latch. Latch was not unlocking and cable was good. Knowing about the secondary latch/locked and how it worked allowed me to figure out just what was wrong with my Prius Prime latch lock and how to fix it
Glad it helped. Those things can be frustrating.
Met you at Ralph's. Just subbed, keep the vids coming! Super helpful.
Thank you. Glad it helped.
Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful, Explained everything I needed to know.
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
You are an excellent teacher. Good with the camera. TY
Thank you. Glad it helped.
Thanks for the clear explanation!
Glad it helped.
Thanks for making this video
Glad it helped.
Any ideas if I'm using a screwdriver to manually trigger the latch, but the hood still won't open?
Really good and easy to understand video, for problem on hood closed shut.
Mine is stuck closed now. I wish you would have done a video on how to get
that latch open ? Good explanation on how the latch works tho, which is a good
starting point. I have seen videos where guys stick a long screw driver in the thru
the front grill. Maybe I can try that, but not to sure where to put it ?? Like your
presentation style and clear videos.
Glad it helped. You have to look where the latch is if you are going to use the screwdriver method.
@@Caliber8Tools I doubt you can see the
latch with the hood shut closed. I guess
I'll take a look. Either the latch is frozen
shut, or rusted shut -- not sure ?
Perfect explanation!
Glad it helped.
Loved this video I learned something.
Glad it helped.
Thanks for this explanation. I hope i can find a way to open my hood after the cable seperated from the housing.
Let us know if this helped.
Very detailed. Thanks
Glad it helped.
Thank you.
Glad it helped.
There is two smaller springs on that latch your missing the bottom one that’s why it’s not shutting or opening. The bottom one holds the tension on the first latch so it doesn’t lose tension
Good observation. Thanks.
Great video
Thanks. Glad it helped.
thank youuu!! it helps me :)
Glad it helped.
Does my 2000 Chevy Lumina have a spring on the hood? I don't see one. Thanks for the great video.
Not sure what you mean but there is a spring on the latch itself, or should I say the latch is spring loaded. If it isn't there, damaged or broken that could be a problem.
Pretty awesome.
Glad it helped.
He did a great job
Appreciate the feedback.
ok so what do you do if the cable will not release the lock ? my main latch is in the locked position and the cable has no more travel left in it. my last resort seems to be to cut the grill, remove the bolts holding the latch in place, which in theory should allow the entire hood to open with the latch hanging from the hood .? does that sound right...?

Sounds like it should work, if you don’t mind damaging the grill, or replacing it after.
God blessyou tanto you
Glad it helped. Be blessed.
I have an 02 C240 Benz with a stuck hood. Any advice?
Have to research that one.
So how do you get the hood open if the cable is broken?

This video didn’t show me anything to do with the title of the video!
My 2001 eclipse won't let me put my fingers underneath to release. it's clamped shut.
Worst case, take it to a mechanic or body shop.
Yes sir
Glad it helped.
Glad it helped.
6:09 how do you open it though?
Hopefully, after the video you should have some idea how to open it.
I liked the video, and it's very informative. I still am dealing with a shit hood and I need it opened like yesterday 😂 #thesestubburncars
I get it.
@@Caliber8Tools *shut* hood 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ ohdear what an unfortunate misspelling 😂 *shut hood*
5 stars
This is better than Scotty
Appreciate the feedback.
live is short
i hate this video's LOUD introduction volume.
Hi,
This doesn't help me.
I can't open the hood at all to trouble-shoot it.
Regrets,
Matty
I’m in the same boat with my 02 C240 Benz. Any advice?
So ZERO solutions offered🙄
Process of elimination I guess.
Brilliant video thank you so much
Glad it helped.
