811802B000 Hyundai / KIA BASE ASSY-HOOD LATCH REL, Price: 8.16$, Weight: 0.03kg

Hood Latch Release Base Assembly

This component is the core holder and guide for the hood latch release mechanism. It is needed to keep the release cable and lever aligned, so your bonnet opens smoothly and locks back with the correct tension. A solid base prevents cable drag, misrouting, and uneven pull force—common causes of hard-to-open hoods.

How It Works

When you pull the interior hood lever, the cable moves through this base and transfers force to the latch at the front panel. The base keeps the cable angle correct, supports the mounting points, and reduces flex. This helps the latch spring return properly, ensuring safe hood locking at speed.

Why Replacing It Matters

If the base cracks, loosens, or deforms, the cable can bind or pop out of its seat. You may notice a stiff lever, delayed hood pop-up, or a hood that won’t fully latch. In worst cases, the hood can sit on the safety catch only—dangerous while driving. Replacing restores smooth release feel and reliable hood security ✅.

Common Symptoms of Failure

• Hood lever feels heavy or “gritty”
• Hood won’t pop after pulling the lever
• Need to pull twice or pull extremely hard
• Hood doesn’t stay fully latched
