How to Maintain and Fix a Hood Latch on 2005 Dodge Viper?

First, trace around the hood latch with a grease pencil to make the installation easier. First, pull the nuts connecting the latch to the frame, then unbolt the hood latch cable from the release lever so you can handle the latch freely. After you have made the marks, install the hood latch and make sure the cable is leading to the release lever. Put the hood nuts on and tighten them to a force of 12 N.m (9 ft.lbs.), then open and shut the hood to check how well it fits.
