- Small part under your hood
- Helps stop hood from contacting your fender
- Replace when missing or failing
Your Nissan's Hood Stop Buffers are small but crucial parts of your hood assembly. Placed underneath the hood, these buffers keep the hood and fender from coming into contact when the hood is closed, helping avoid impact damage to either of those parts.
Usually, a Hood Stop Buffer is manufactured with extremely durable rubber and expected to last for years and years. Still, collisions or wear and tear can cause them to break or fail. Some signs you need to get a new Nissan Hood Stop Buffer include an off-center hood, chipping paint caused by the hood and fender coming in contact with each other, hood and/or fender damage, and strange sounds coming from the hood when the vehicle is in motion.
You need your Hood Stop Buffers to be in good shape if you want to prevent damage caused by metal-on-metal contact between the fender and hood. A Hood Stop Buffer that's a little worse for wear or not doing its job correctly should be replaced quickly.
You need a reliable Hood Stop Buffer made from quality materials that fits your Nissan. Purchase genuine OEM parts to find Hood Stop Buffers and other Body, Interior and Trim components made with your specific vehicle in mind.
The Hood Stop Buffer, part 658296FL0A, is engineered for your Nissan Altima 2007-2013. Reference the What This Fits tab for more info about fitment.
