Hood Latch Probs
Hood Latch Probs
My hood latch is messed up. Cable doesnt have any tension on it. Looked it over and it seems like a return spring is missing. Does any1 know if the Impala latch will fit a 2013? I was on car-part and it brought up impala latches
Re: Hood Latch Probs
go on any GM parts website and find the the part # for the Caprice, then do the same for the same year Impala and see if the Part # is the same
Re: Hood Latch Probs
there is no serviceable spring for the hood latch , also the latches are caprice only
the impala is not the same
the impala is not the same
Re: Hood Latch Probs
Which spring are missing? If you are missing the yellow spring, you should be able to find a one close enough to work at a decent hardware store. If you are missing the red one, it may be hard to find. You might get lucky and find something at a salvage yard that will work.

The red 1 is bent on mine. Its between the cable and the latch. I ordered a new 1, got it today and the new latch doesnt have that spring! This 1 is different though, it has a cord that i assume is for electric start. The p/n with and without the E start was the same lol hope it fits
Re: Hood Latch Probs
92258585 is the part # for the standard latch
92258586 is the part # for remote start
92258586 is the part # for remote start
Re: Hood Latch Probs
i shouldve known better lol i clicked on the p/n without the remote start too
Re: Hood Latch Probs
it should still work fine , and help if you ever try to add remote start to it
though that is party of the joy of using a 3rd party parts catalog vs the dealer

Re: Hood Latch Probs
Been meaning to update this; the spring came off the original latch. I got I back in place but it still wouldnt hold the hood.
I put the new 1 on and it was the same. Pulled the rubber stops out and it held it, but super tight on the lights. I was debating on redrilling and tapping holes to raise the latch, but milled the bottom of the slots out on it
Hoods still low but better. Worried about cai's now lol
