Need the collectives knowledge.

I had to change out my Front Radiator on my Suby car. In the process of removing the shrouding etc... I had to remove the lower Front trunk latch and the cable attachment. When I re-installed the assembly, I thought I put it in the same spot. I noticed on my test drives and shakedown runs, my hood is popping as if I pulled the cable.

Is there a process to ensure proper security and adjustment?

Is my cable too tight and when the body flexes its pulling?

Move more left, right, up or down??? Yikes??

I am ready to button everything up for good, but need to figure this out.

Thank you all!

Yes it could be too tight. It actually helps to have a small amount of slack in the cabel to open it.

Ill try to slacken it up a bit....Thanks for the direction.

@bdstone914 the slackening of the cable worked. It stays down tight now. Learn something new every day. Thanks!
