Bonnet Latch Spring Broken - word of warning


Recommended Posts

Apologies if this has been covered, I've searched and seen mentioned in topics, but thought it might be worth posting as a warning to others.

When I serviced my car a few weeks back, the bonnet latch didn't feel right, but locked and I was in a rush so thought no more of it.  Today, I opened the bonnet and couldn't reclose it due to Bonnet Latch spring 3 failing (https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-is-phase-3-bonnet-latch-spring-no-3/).  Luckily this was on my drive.  

So the reason I'm sharing, my car has done just over 100K and 9 year old, and I've noticed the corrosion on the spring and latch in the past and greased up and tried to protect it, but it's still failed, looking at posts, I think this is probably the life of the part in the UK so do yourself a favour if you've got an older Lexi, and either order one from somewhere cheap https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/lexus-general/gs-series/AWL10L/1487/body/5303 and do some preventative maintenance or get it changed at your next service.

Heres an old thread. This guy managed to restore his old one. Might be worth a try if things arent broken. But for <£20 i agree might be worth just replacing it.
