Removal and Installation of Hood Lock Control: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti FX45 and 2005 Infiniti FX35. 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 room. Be careful not to bend the cable too much, keeping the radius 100 mm (3.94 in) or more.
Make sure 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.
