How do you remove and install the hood latch and cable on Hyundai Sonata?

For 2010 and earlier models, begin by removing the radiator guard by taking out the fasteners. For 2011 and later models, the bumper cover must be taken off to access the hood latch and cable assembly. Scribe a line around the latch for alignment during installation, then remove the retaining bolts that secure the hood latch to the radiator support and take out the latch. Disconnect the Hood Cable by disengaging it from the latch. Installation follows the reverse order of removal, ensuring the latch is adjusted so the hood engages securely when closed and the hood bumpers are slightly compressed. In the passenger compartment, lift the hood release handle lever upward, then pull down on the cable housing end to disengage the cable from the hood release lever handle. Attach a piece of thin wire or string to the end of the cable, then disconnect the Hood Cable from the latch. Remove the left inner plastic fender well and unclip all cable retaining clips on the radiator support and outer fender well. Pull the cable forward into the wheel well until the wire or string is visible, then remove it from the old cable and fasten it to the new cable. With the new cable attached to the wire or string, pull it back through the body until it reaches the inside handle. In the passenger compartment, install the new cable into the hood release lever, ensuring the cable housing fits snugly into the notch in the handle bracket, and pull on the cable until the cable stop seats in the grommet on the body. Complete the installation by reversing the removal steps.
