Hood Latch: Description and Operation
Hood Latch
Opening the hood is achieved by first operating the interior release lever (located in the right hand side front footwell, regardless of drive). The releasing
of the safety catch (located between the front grille and bumper) is accomplished by reaching under the hood and pressing up on the lever. The hood
release cables are color coded, white on drivers side and blue on passenger side.
Hood closure is achieved by adjustable latches mounted to the chassis longitudinal (two bolts, per side) and strikers welded to the hood.
