Civic EG

I had this issue with my hatch, and am developing it with the Teg too, the hood latch seems to preventing it from shutting properly, was a bitch the other night in the walmart parking lot trying to shut my hood and it wouldn't shut

if you push the cable with a screw driver it allows it to shut, anyone know a fix for this? I was thinking just spray the hell out of it with rust check or wd40

My 95 Civic has had this problem for years, but all of a sudden, the stupid VA state inspector failed my car for it...

Anyone have a quick fix for this?

I have tried finding a replacement cable, but none of the online parts places have the exact part.

Anyone replace it and can tell me how hard it is?

Thanks !!

spring on the back closest to the radiator needs to be replaced with a stronger one, same spring that pull the little handle back into place

This happened on my EK until one day it wouldn't release to open. I had to go up under the bumper, what a PITA that was.

I tool it off and lubed the hell out of it and it's been good since.

what lube did you use. my eg has a problem with the hood not latching properly and its the same spring. i used wd-40 on it and it worked for a lil bit now its back again

I used PB blaster to break it loose and then moved it a lot to break it in. Then I put some Tri-Flow lubricant on the latch and it's been good since

yeah its the spring that doesnt work anymore i shut use to shut my hood really hard each time and it works like that but imma just replace the whole latch when i paint it .
