  Q: How do I remove and install the hood latch and Hood Cable on Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain?

  A: To open the hood, draw a line around the latch and bolt heads to help in aligning when reinstalling. For 2010 and newer models, insert a long handled trim tool or screw driver into the hood latch opening (below the plastic trim panel) and unplug the electrical connector fastener, then go behind under the radiator support and unplug it from there. The mounting bolts securing the hood latch to the radiator support should be removed. Take off the latch. To disconnect the Hood Cable, pull it out of the latch. To install remove is reverse. In work within passenger compartment, free cable from retainer and slide end of out handle (pull cable from retainer then slide end of handle). Disconnect Hood Cable at latch while working in engine compartment. Unclip all cable retaining clips on radiator support and inner fenderwell. Front Bumper cover must be removed on 2010 and later models for access to cable retaining clips. To install remove is reverse.

Use a graphited lubricant spray to grease the locks of car doors as well as trunks (or lift gates).
