i have the same problem but not as bad .. i think the oem hinges are going bad
|
wtf? Hinges you say? Damn these crazy Infiniti problems... lol
This car is great, and would buy again if given the chance, but we have some odd ball issues lol |
Same thing has happened to me before, man...passenger side. The hinges need to be greased up every so often. I just do a few quick blasts of silicone spray a couple times of year and it hasn't happened since.
I imagine hood dampers would help keep this from happening too. |

spray some WD on the hinge bracket a few times a year and you should be ok. Thats really bad buy some new hinges.

Lithium-based spray grease works well and will last far longer than silicone or WD.
|
I sprayed my hinges with WD-40 and it didnt help .. the hood still opens too closely to the fender, maybe im doing it wrong ? :confused2:
|
it's already bent, replace the hinges and properly lubricate them before they do any additional damage.

I tried WD-40 and White lithium grease, RESULT: broken hood hinge
Once the the hinge has bent and the structural integrity of the hinge is compromised, it may continue bending even with proper lubrication causing the fender/hood damage and leading to eventual failure. I'm not saying this will happen to you necessarily, it all depends on how bad off your hinges already are. |
^^ Yup, if you can loosen it up and it's not bent, you're fine, otherwise no amount of lube will straighten a bent hinge.
