How to Replace Prop Rod Retainer 2002-06 Nissan Altima
Created on:
Tools used
Phillips Head Screwdriver
Trim Tool Set
1. Removing the Prop Rod Retainer
Set up the prop rod and secure the hood
Remove the Phillips screw from the retainer
Pry out the retainer
2. Installing the Prop Rod Retainer
Insert the retainer into the hood
Tighten the Phillips head screw to the retainer
When you open up the hood on this vehicle, the prop rod sits under the hood, and then you have to lower it and place it down here. Let's say this is broken and every time you lift the hood, the prop rod's just falling. You can get a new replacement hood clip from 1AAuto.com.
To remove the old one, take a Philips head screwdriver. After you take the screw out, you can take a plastic prying tool—you can buy these from 1AAuto.com—and pry down. Push in on the tabs.
Place your new one in, and it snaps into place. Place the Phillips head screw. Now your prop rod has a place to clip into.

It's the little things
Exact part, perfect fit, worked properly ?would have been nice if a new screw came with it as putting the old rusty screw back in takes away from the nice finish of product

Does it come with the screw that is needed to install?
My old one was still installed but the clip broke. It was as simple as unscrewing the old one and screwing in the new one.
