I have an EK and my hood release latch doesn't work anymore. Well technically it works, it does pull back, but it doesn't release the hood. I have to screw around with the hood for a bit (push it down and lift it) before it opens. Is this common for Civics? Anything I can do to fix it?

 

i would check the latch, make sure it's releasing like it should.

 

lubricate it, thats the biggest problem usually

 

Thank you much!

 

my theory is if it don't move use some good ole silicone spray lubricant i personally like BG products but anything will work

 

no way, i actually had a RIGHT answer for once??
man that is just FLY :fawk: :fawk:

 

White Lithium grease in a spray can works very well too. It tends to last a lot longer than silicon does too.

 

mine did that that, I sprayed some break wash in there and it cleaned right up. i also pulled mine to far once if that happened u might need more than a good lube
