To bolt the latch, it is recommended to put a marker line around the latch, and then to unscrew the bolts which hold the hood latch on the radiator support and can be adjusted horizontally and vertically. Pull the hood cable, unhooked from the latch belly and pulled the latch assembly out. For the hood release lever, gain access to the interior of the vehicle in order to remove the driver's side kick panel, then use a screwdriver or other tool to pry the hood release lever up by the spring and perform some force on the cable housing end to get the cable out of the handle. If needed, to remove the handle, the retaining tab must be pulled out and downward while the clips are released in the instrument panel and then the cable and an accompanying lever can be removed. Installation on the other hand is in the reverse order/ sequence. When working on the hood cable, initially disconnect it from the inside release lever and then use a piece of thin string or wire and make sure it is long enough to reach the latch of the hood. In the engine compartment, you have to take the cable out from the latch assembly, and separate all the retaining limit clips. In pulling the cable forward, the policy dictates that after the wire or string is visible you then transfer the same from the old cable to the new one. Inside the vehicle retract the wire or string through the firewall to the desired position of the new cable on the interior handle then fix the new cable into the hood release lever sandwiches them properly into the lever bracket. Tug the cable forward until the stop seats in the grommet on the firewall; and then reverse the whole procedure.

The bonnet release lever is located on the lower facia panel, to the right of the steering wheel.
