Similar to the doors and windows on your house, your Nissan's engine hood relies on hinges to open and close. And similar to the hinges on your home's doors and windows, a damaged, broken, or old Hood Hinge (Right) can make opening and closing your hood difficult. Make sure your Nissan engine hood works like it's supposed to with a genuine replacement Hood Hinge (Right) from Nissan Parts.
Your Nissan's Hood Hinge (Right) may seem like an easy part to overlook, especially if you're not popping your hood open very often. But just because the hood remains closed most of the time doesn't mean you should neglect a damaged Hood Hinge (Right)! If a Hood Hinge (Right) is broken, loose, or worn, the engine hood can fly up or even separate from your Nissan due to the force from the wind while you're driving—even if you aren't driving highway speeds.
If you have one Hood Hinge (Right) that is broken and it causes the hood to shift while you drive, there's a chance your other Nissan Hood Hinge (Right) may get damaged as well, leading to added repair needs.
To see if your Nissan has a damaged Hood Hinge (Right), open your vehicle's hood. Check for resistance, and see if the hood won't open all the way or opens too much. Look closely at your Hood Hinge (Right), and inspect it for wear, loose or missing pieces that could have fallen out while driving, or visible cracks. If the hinges or the hood squeaks while you're opening it, it could be an indication of a worn out Hood Hinge (Right).
