While it is a small component that only has one job in keeping the hood locked in place, the Toyota Camry hood latch is by no means insignificant. Because the hood is there to cover the engine compartment from outside elements, the latch keeps the protective component in place. In order to maintain its functionality, here are some tips that you should know.
Follow a regular schedule for hood latch maintenance.
Most dealers recommend that you lubricate the hood latch every 15,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. This is especially advisable if you drive your car less than five miles per trip or, in freezing temperatures, less than 10 miles per trip. You should also maintain a regular schedule when you drive in hot-over 90 F-conditions. If your car does extensive idling or if it has periods of stop-and-go driving, you should lubricate the hood latch regularly. This is also recommended for those who drive their cars in mountainous conditions and on muddy, dusty, or de-iced roads.
Use a mild cleaner on your hood latch.
Because the latch can get rusted over time, it is not enough to just lubricate it-you will have to clean off the rust and dirt building up there as well. With a mild cleaner, wipe off as much grime as possible and spray WD-40 on whatever is left. If you lubricate the latch without cleaning it first, the grease will only seal in the dirt, making it harder to clean next time. Plus, allowing rust and grime to build up could cause your latch to get stuck.
Grease your hood latch.
There are some quality spray lubricants and grease on the market that you can use on the hood latch. While the WD-40 works great for removing rust, it doesn't really last as long compared to others. Shop around for a good lubricant that's easy to use if you don't have one in your garage yet.
Adjust the hood latch, if necessary.
Over time, the latch can get misaligned or improperly positioned. When you are starting to have a hard time locking the hood, then you might have to adjust its latch and bring it back to its proper place.
