On 2001 and earlier models, pop up the 10 push fasteners with a trim removal tool and remove the front bulkhead cover. For 2002 and later models, remove the front bumper cover. Next, remove the hood latch cover by pulling it toward you and then down. Using a marking pen, make a line around the latch to ensure alignment during reassembly, then remove the latch retaining bolts from the radiator support and take out the latch. Disconnect the hood release cable by disengaging it from the latch assembly. Installation is the reverse of removal, and adjust the latch as necessary to ensure the hood engages securely when closed, with the hood bumpers slightly compressed.

The door latch strikers should be coated with a thin layer of grease to minimize wear and promote smooth operation.
