Removal and Installation of Hood Lock Control: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Pull the hood lock cable through the panel hole to the engine compartment. Be careful not to bend the cable too much, keeping the radius 100 mm (3.94 in) or more.
Check that the cable is not offset from the positioning grommet, and push the grommet into the panel hole securely.
Apply the sealant to the grommet (at ^* mark) properly.
