To adjust the hood lock on a car, you will need: a flat-blade screwdriver, pliers.
1. Signs that the hood lock needs to be adjusted in height are a large effort when closing the hood and vertical play of the hood in the closed position. Loosen the locknut while holding the hood latch from turning with a screwdriver. To adjust the hood latch in height, unscrew or wrap it.
2. Signs that the hood lock needs to be adjusted horizontally are a hard hit when closing the hood and difficult opening of the hood. To adjust the position of the hood latch, move it in the desired direction. After adjusting the latch, tighten the locknut. Check the operation of the hood lock: if the hood does not close completely, repeat the adjustment.
