How is the Hood Latch Installed on 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Attach the hood latch lever bracket to the upper radiator support in front, connect the cable's hook ball to the lever and then install the housing for the cable to the latch. After that, mount the latch to the upper radiator support and use the two supplied stud bolts to secure it loosely. Use the previously marked areas to adjust the latch on the radiator and then tighten the retaining bolts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). Next, test that the hood closes right and locks securely with even gaps of about 4 mm (0.160 in.) between it and the panels located nearby.
