See if you can see dirt and gum build up. Try to clean the latch, then spray some WD40, that stuff cleans too. See if that works. Good luck! Stay warm!

How did the cable come off the latch? Any idea, did you get a chance to fix it?

. Hi I don't know how the hood latch came undone and I haven't had a chance to fix it it's so cold out or to have it looked at as long as the hood is staying closed I'm happy right now
