  Q: How to service and repair the hood latch on Mercury Monterey?

  A: Service and repair of the hood latch begin by removing eight pin-type retainers while also removing the upper radiator sight shield. Disconnection of the secondary hood latch release cable follows the disconnect step from the hood latch. At the beginning, note the hood latch position before unfastening its two mounting screws that require 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) of torque after installation. After positioning the hood latch you should disconnect its primary hood latch release cable from the hood latch release mechanism. Before completing the installation check that the hood striker correctly engages the hood latch after reversing the removal steps and verify that the hood latch adjustment is in position.
