Hood Will Not Latch in Primary Latch Position (Apply Lubricant)

Some customers may comment that when the hood is closed, it immediately pops up to the secondary latch, and will not latch on the primary latch.

This condition may be caused by water that has gathered on the hood latch or in the hood release cable.

Thaw the vehicle out and blow off the cable and latch. Spray GM Super Lube®, or equivalent, to the inside of the cable and the mechanical portion of the latch.
