Default Re: 2004 Hood release cable adjustment?
Tried balancing the right and left corners of the hood yesterday with only a little luck. The car was in a fender bender several yers ago and has been problematic ever since. I removed the upper hood latch assembly and adjusted the two corner bumpers and leveled out the hood perfectly. "But" when reinstalling the latch it won't pull down snug and hood rocks right and left. I adjusted the nut, on the bottom latching assembly, but it locks the assembly down and won't release with the hand cable. The finger hood release became stuck and I had to use a screwdriver and force it open. I had to "settle" for adjusting so the hood will open but it's still not right. I replaced the grill with a spare original grill I have and looks better.
