How is the Hood Latch Installed on 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Place the hood latch right behind the upper radiator support so you can link the cable ball of the hood latch to its lever. After that, secure the cable housing piece to the hood latch. After that, fit the latch into place on the upper radiator support and set the two stud bolts slightly loose. Assemble the latch on the radiator using the previously drawn locations and tighten the lower bolts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). The hood must be positioned so the gaps are 4 mm even with the adjacent bodywork; check the hood's latch by opening and closing it manually.
