Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting carnoob New User Dec 29, 2009, 3:46 AM Post #1 of 3 (2100 views) "Hood Rod" Question Sign In If the rod is not secured properly into its clip..... Can the rod which is not secured cause any damage to your car? whats the worst that could happen if the rod is not secured? any serious damage. or will it just make a rattling noise... just wondering.. thank you Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Dec 29, 2009, 3:28 PM Post #2 of 3 (2083 views) Re: "Hood Rod" Question Sign In carnoob; In 'most' cases, an unsecured rod will/can cause a rattle. You'll just have to take a look at where the rod lies to see if there is anything near that it could rub against and cause damage. Some lay along the top of the radiator which would be a concern.

Loren pretty much covered the bases on possible problems. If you don't want to get a new holder from the dealer, you can try keep in place with a piece of wire. If it is a Altima, those are a little tricky due to where it mounts...... About the best backyard repair I've seen todate on one those, had a hole drilled in the broken holder with a piece of single strand wire going thru & twisted around the rod..........   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
