To install the latch, first scribe a line around it for alignment, marking its position before removal. For models from 2004 to 2016, excluding GT models, remove the plastic cover from the top of the radiator by prying up the center of each push-pin. For 2013 and later GT models and all 2017 and later models, remove the front bumper. Next, take out the retaining bolts and nut securing the hood latch to the radiator support, and then remove the latch. Disengage the cable from the latch assembly using a small screwdriver. Installation follows the reverse order of removal, ensuring the latch is adjusted so the hood engages securely when closed, with the hood bumpers slightly compressed. To work on the cable, disconnect the hood cable from the latch assembly and attach a piece of thin wire or string to the end of the cable, unclipping all remaining cable retaining clips at the radiator support. For models from 2010 and earlier, remove the hood release handle mounting screws under the dash to detach the handle and cable assembly. For models from 2011 and later, the handle is mounted on the kick panel; remove the center screw, pull off the handle, and disengage the kick panel fasteners to access the cable. Pull the cable and grommet rearward into the passenger compartment until the wire or string is visible. Ensure the new cable has a grommet attached, then remove the wire or string from the old cable and fasten it to the new cable. With the new cable attached, pull the wire or string back through the firewall until the new cable reaches the latch assembly. Finally, install the new cable and handle assembly in the passenger compartment, completing the installation in reverse order of removal.

The door and trunk (or liftgate) locks should be lubricated with spray-on graphite lubricant.
