Mercedes-Benz Hoods

While you may not think much about it, the hood on your Mercedes-Benz is crucial when it comes to shielding essential parts and systems from the elements. The hinged cover fits snugly into place, and helps protect your engine, radiator, water pump, and other components from both road debris and the worst weather that nature can throw your way.

These days, hoods are secured by way of a concealed latch that connects by way of a hood release cable to a latch located inside the cabin -- usually near the driver's seat. When you pull the handle, the hood slightly disengages so that you can work the lever to raise it completely and examine the various fluid levels, and check the condition of the hoses and belts.

Genuine OEM Hoods Fit Best

Eventually, though, your hood may show signs of wear-and-tear. Whether due to exposure to the sun's harsh UV rays, flying objects leaving dents and dings, or rust setting in, you'll want to replace your old hood before problems multiply.
