Removal

STRIKER

NOTE: The hood ajar switch striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any reason, it must be replaced.





1. Unlatch and open the hood.
2. Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, pry the rearward end of the hood ajar switch striker (2) away from the inner hood panel reinforcement (1) far enough to disengage the integral retainers from their mounting holes.
3. Remove the striker from the inner hood panel reinforcement and discard.
