Quick Fix Stuck Car Hood Wont Open
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- My 2014 Altimas hood would not open because of crappy dried lubricant no amount of yanking would work. Just slid in a paint stirring stick and problem solved. Make sure hood is fully closed before you pull latch the stick creates enough compression to help it pop up. Then re lube with some quality grease..
My guy you just saved another person here. My battery died on me and hood won't open but this video helped. Thank you for this video❤
oh awesome so glad to help, btw you can also just use your fingers on the sides to lift it open after you pull the release.
I literally had the exact same issue with mine. Thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm.
Wow! I’d been struggling to get my Nissan Titan’s hood to open and your trick worked like a charm! Thank you!!!
fabulous!
Life shaver. Used a plastic shim. Popped right up. Blasted the mechanism with half a bottle of WD whites grease!
Appreciate the sage advice. Road trip Ready now. You Rock!!!
Oh my freaking good, thank you and thank my bf for having random things strong wood laying around, thank you
Whoa see my car has been sitting at kroger for the past 4 days bc I can't get the hood open. Thank you soo much I'm about to try this!!
sure hope it works!
This worked I used a wood ruler. Thank you!!
Thanks for the tip it actually worked 🙏
This worked perfect. A Big Thank you, from Ireland
lovely.
I have a problem with hood stuck closed as well. Now it may be from the latch
under the hood being rusted shut, or the hood frozen shut as I live in Canada,
and it's just starting to warm up. I haven't had the hood open in about 2 years,
so it's possible the latch rusted shut ? It's an older 97 Chev Lumina, but a great
utility car, that I'd like to keep. I was thinking of firstly waiting for the weather to
warm up, and see if the problem was the hood or latch was frozen. If that doesn't
work, then I'll assume the latch is rusted shut, OR the cable is broken. If the cable
broke ( can't see why) then your method would not work. Any ideas for me ?
Good video BTW :) How would I know if the cable is broken ? Go by feel ???
I read a post from a 98 lumina owner and the problem was the cable sheath plastic end behind the release lever was popped out of its' bracket. Without light under the dash, you can't see it. Popping it back in apparently corrects the issue.
Thank you.
Thank you, my hood is fixed!
W mans it worked. I had to use a spatula
cool, i had it happen recently and was able to use my fingers on the side.
Hey man thanks just fixed mines just now much appreciated
👍👍
Awesome, thanks!
It worked! Huge save!
Extremely helpful, thank you ‼️
Appreciate you fam
Thank you, have a nice day
Thank you!!!
Thanks Bud
What did you use to grease it up?
just push hood back in until you the click, you should also be able to use your fingers where i put the stick and lift.
Thanks, it worked.
Jesus Christ god bless you thank you.
really helps, Thank you
Same problem except the release button was broke. How do you get hood open when release button doesnt work at all
behind the release lever you should see the cable, you can pull on it with pliers.
Thank you so much really work!!
Mine popped out of the release though. Can't get ot to open
🤔
What did you end up doing? I have the same problem
@@nicholasbourgeois9265 Had to use a speed grinder to cut a nice hole in the grill to get access to open the latch. Than I had to buy another cable and run it through again. Had to buy another grill too.
What type of lubricant? Not sure if I'll need it but right now my hood is stuck as well
you want some thick auto multi-grease
That worked, thanks a lot!
Thanks
You just saved me ty
awesome!
is that work on every car ?
cant hurt to try.
what lube works
most kinds or auto grease.
My release works fine... It pops. Up but won't open or close
try pushing the hood in until it clicks then you can release with the stick in or just pry up with your fingers while someone releases the latch.
@@mst3kpimp Pushing it in? How do you mean? My friend opened it for me six months ago with a pry bar... Said the release got bent... But I can't figure out how to do this on my own.
@@burnlastsunday oh if was forced open with a pry bar that may have bent the mechanism youll prob have to pry it open again just to see whats wrong ect.
@@mst3kpimp Yeah it has been totally fine up til a couple days ago now I had to mess some just to get it shut again. But I need to do something I'm almost out of oil(Camry)
