viol8ion Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I have a 2001 Forester. I opened the hood the other day to check fluid levels and now the hood will not latch shut. I applied lubricant to the exposed latch assembly to no avail. Is there an easy fix without going to service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 after adding a little lube..stick a screwdriver down in there and jimmy it around a little bit..sometimes things get a little crudded up...That almost always does the trick Ive done it to dozens of Subies..

viol8ion Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 EVO - thanks - that did the trick. It took a little fiddling around but I finally found the part that was sticking, I was looking at the wrong pieces. there was a small assembly with a lightweight spring, attached to the release cable that was sticking.
