If you have a problem with your hood not closing on your 1990-2001 Acura Integra or Honda Civic, this video will help. It will also work for most other Hondas and Acura's as well as most of them use this type of set up.
Many times the problem is in the latch assembly, for me it was the cable that was the problem. Either way, this video shows how to repair both issues. Since the Honda Civic is on the same platform as the Acura Integra, the procedures are virtually identical.
Rusty latches can be reconditioned. If I get another one in the shop I'll demonstrate that procedure. If you wish to recondition a rusty latch, I'd recommend sand blasting and then lubricating with lithium grease when you're done.

I’m sure you know this by now, but thank you for sharing everything you know and helping people all over the country with your videos. That was a simple solution, but I wouldn’t have know without your video. Thank you!

@tormodskoog9088 7 лет назад

You recent integra videos makes me wish I still had my 2000 GSR. Probably one of the best cars I've ever had. Thanks for sharing!

@DonBMW 7 лет назад

Eric, your videos set the standard for DIY car repair. They are always easy to follow, well explained and great video quality . My integra has this exact problem and now I can fix it.Keep up the great work!

@donaldcheatham 4 года назад

I've watched about 3-4 vids before I found this one - this is the most comprehensive/detailed/helpful. Most others just say 'you'll need to pry out some clips' etc, but you actually show the clips, how to pry them out and... where they are etc. You also show the part numbers so they are easy to order online etc. Thank you so much. I'll be changing mine out this weekend!

@duryeal26 7 лет назад

The diagnostic process is by far the most interesting part of your videos. I love it, and it adds to my respect of craftspeople like yourself. Keep it up, and thank you.

@Drives31forhalo 7 лет назад

I'd be cool if you made a video demonstrating how to clean or power wash your engine bay, this car would be perfect for it.

@bleddyndavies1944 6 лет назад

Eric. Thanks once again, you've made my Integra ownership far cheaper for me! Had it 9 years now, followed your videos since I found them :)

@Analog359 5 лет назад

@mikelowry1904 7 лет назад

thank you, thank you, thank you Eric for ALL of your videos. the amount of knowledge I learn from you is priceless and has saved me and my family so much money over the years. keep up with the awesome videos!

@10SecondZ06 5 лет назад

Thanks for the great video man. I just bought a 98 Integra for my step daughter. The hood didn't stay shut. They replaced the latch and the hood would then close but the cable was sticking so I had to manually push it back before shutting the hood. I watched your video and replaced the cable with the Honda link in your description for $42 with shipping. Just replaced the cable assembly and works like new. Your video made things so much easier. Thanks again 💪🇺🇸

@craigsawyer6453 7 лет назад

Out in California the we at Sonoma County Club Integra are enjoying these videos. Thank you so much!

@Cr0ssUP 2 года назад

OMG Thank You EricTheCarGuy 😲😱😭😭😭. My hood has been stuck open for like 6 months. I followed your quick 2 min tutorial on how to close it and it worked.

@michaelgranville1733 5 лет назад

This video is Gold. Thanks brother. I was ready to take off the fender and front bumper until this video. Also the antenna and rear latch videos are gold aswell. Thanks for sharing. Eric. 👍

@mybrainmeatshurt 7 лет назад

Thanks. The bit about the cruise control part is good to know; that would have tripped me up for a few minutes. I have this to look forward to on my '95 LS. The cable is frayed on the handle end, so it's only a matter of time before that breaks. Already have the new part; just need the opportunity to put it in.

@sociial 6 лет назад

thanks for this. My hood wasn't closing and this made me look one more time at the mechanism. A rubber bolt cover was stuck in the latch and prevented it from going all the way down haha.

I'm about to do this to my 01 accord I didn't check to see if it was the cable I just assumed it was the latch I used could use my finger to push it back now I gotta use a screwdriver but this on a accord is pretty much the same. Good video!

@ncc74656m 7 лет назад

Not a Honda, but related. I had a similar problem on my '02 Forester. It ended up being the latch rusting and being stuck. I had to basically pry the catch away from the rest of the latch mechanism so I could force some lubricant, and let that penetrate, and it worked like a charm.

@kraftfamilyadventures2100 6 лет назад

I have the opposite problem with a 99 civic. My hood latch and cable work, the plastic handle under the dash broke off. I was hoping I could see if that part is able to be released from the other end of the cable, and if it's available separately. I can get the hood open with a pair of pliers, but it's a pain obviously.

@Retroweld 7 лет назад

Enjoyed it Eric. :)

@SheikhMC 7 лет назад

Great video. Thank you!

@thecarman3693 8 месяцев назад

Very good video, however another reason could be that for an older car what happens over time is that the hood latch assembly slowly creeps downward from the impacts of the closing hood. Loosen the 3 mounting bolts and move the assembly up a bit and then re-tighten. That could be all that's needed.

@benjerman112 7 лет назад

Just the video I needed for my 96 civic hood release that's broken.Question the release on my civic pulls out, and I saw the one for your GSR flips up to open the hood. this is the 3rd time having to replace it. do you think I can put the Acura hood relapse one on my civic?

@AaronsAutomotive 7 лет назад

Hi Eric, great video, and thanks, gonna give this a try on mine to fix it when i "wake up" its only 3am were im at currently, and neighbors dont like the noise in the drive way :p any whos, stay dirty my friend! :)

I'm digging these new repair videos. I hate to say it, but repair videos is what brought me to your channel originally, and I think you're at your best when you're doing them. What happened to the Fairmont, though? Funding issues? Need some unobtanium part you just can't find?

hey Eric you're making my ocd go on a rampage lol. clean the parts before re-installing man! there out already and it only takes a can of brake cleaner and/or a microfiber cloth for the plastics. keep up the good work, always like your videos even when they make me cringe.

@Davidl91 7 лет назад

lol

@Mortalomena 7 лет назад

If the latch is working, youll only do harm "cleaning it" the grit gets jammed in the mechanisms. Also it probably has better lubricants from factory than the WD-40 which lubricates for maybe a month and then it jams.

@Mortalomena 7 лет назад

***** I think its press fit and stamped? No way to disassemble without press and stuff.

@ericthecarguy 7 лет назад

The latch worked fine. It would only get dirty again anyway. Not saying you couldn't, or shouldn't clean yours, just that I didn't feel it was necessary on mine.

@FrenchValleyAirport 7 лет назад

I love how hondas all have the same similar problems, and you basically do the same repairs on every Honda you get haha

@ericthecarguy 7 лет назад

Yea that is kinda true.

@aserta 7 лет назад

I wonder if it's parts bin oversight or inherent production problems. Parts seemed the same across the board, so it would indicate towards the second one, but still, the years of production for most of the same range cars are pretty wide in span, you'd think they'd fix some of the issues.

@XenomorphLV426 7 лет назад

my rsx had a broken latch. I hate that car, so many little issues with it.

@BSFJeebus 7 лет назад

the one thing that was bugging me the whole video, why didn't you soak the latch assembly in brake cleaner to remove all the gunk?!

@FrenchValleyAirport 7 лет назад

eric never cleans shit. even his fairmont, he assembled with grit and dirt everywhere

@ericthecarguy 7 лет назад

The dirt does not effect the operation of the latch at all. It would only get dirty again anyway. Not saying you couldn't clean yours, I just chose not to clean mine.

@oscargonzalez8518 5 лет назад

The video was very helpful and clear,very nice job,why this guy come to see just the derthy.

@Analog359 5 лет назад

Bogdan Oros so he could line it back up with the dirt marks where the bolts had been originally. I cleaned mine, and had to readjust it. Shoulda watched the WHOLE video first I guess. Lol.

@smith0426 7 лет назад

I had this issue on my Integra for the last 7 years or so...always did the screwdriver trick. I'm finally getting around to doing something about it. Like yours, mine was also an issue with friction on the cable, and not the actual hinge/latch. That looked like a pain to replace the cable--- so in my case what worked as a quick solution was an adjustment of the position of the latch mechanism. As you alluded to in the video by making markings, there is some play to where you can position the latch, about 1/4 inch in each direction. I loosened the three bolts, and positioned the latch as high up toward the hood as it would go, then tightened the bolts. Locks every time now. Whether it's because this allows the hood hook to push deeper into the latch, or because it changes the angle of the cable, I don't know, but I don't really care as long as it works.

@951tony 7 лет назад

DId that increase the panel gap? After reinstalling my latch I notice the hood would "flap" a bit on the freeway. I probably need to reposition the latch to reduce the gap.

@smith0426 7 лет назад

951tony not that I can notice. If you pull up on the hood with your fingertips, does it move? mine has zero play

@951tony 7 лет назад

It doesn't move when I pull up on the hood and I don't know how tight it was before the latch was repositioned. I just notice it flaps a bit at the corners above the driver side low beam headlight.

@Joshoptimus 7 лет назад

please eric, we are on honda overload here. more Oliver videosplease yes I'm begging

@for2utube 7 лет назад

Seems to mark the hinge just smear some moly grease (if paint on latch support is light colored) or some anti-seize (if paint on latch support is dark colored). The marker doesn't seem to cut through the grease, and an awl you say you worry about the rust. Or a drying wax that leaves a lot of residue like Nu Finish, but repair shops probably have the grease lying around.

Eric have you ever considered doing a ETCG1 video on tech school teachers? High school vs university or college ? I've heard at least locally the shop teachers dont care to do theirs jobs as well since the students mess around anyways,bothers me because I care about my work and would do my best.Actually in a job i dislike and trying to work towards something I enjoy better,but still doing my job well.Had to share this thought as it came to me.

@michaelpaterson8086 2 года назад

Eric, what would the issue be if pulling the hood latch cable but hood doesn't pop open and often need to pull on the cable handle inside the cabin and bump the hood a few times with hands to get the latch to release open,....in this case what do you think is the issue?

@danielchrisronan2281 3 года назад

SO my Dad recently hit a deer. So we went to the Junkyard and we were able to aquire a 1999(?) Acura 2.3cl to replace the messed up hood on his Acura 2.2cl. Now i could not find dimensions for the hood itself, so I went by the dimensions on the specs page of both cars. now the #s were identical.. but the hood wont latch... im struggling to find help for this specific problem.. I think the latch needs to be adjusted... will an egine hood from a 2.3cl fit a 2.2 cl?

@illmatic380 4 года назад

I was wondering, I cut a small hole in my hood to access my hood latch on my 1990 integra but the locking latch(not the secondary) will not move as much as I try. Any tips before I cut the hood off?

@bryanmartinez6600 6 лет назад

Anyone know why why hood latch locks up, I try to push down but it's like the latch stops completely. Also the car is now very misaligned when it would close the hood would still be somewhat open. There would be a 1 inch gap between the grill and hood and it seems the radiator is curved and wedged in place. 2000 Honda Civic LX
