Mazda Tribute Hood
The Mazda Tribute Hood presents the frontline guard of the engine for the SUV to keep rain, dirt, and road debris out and keep the surface smooth to direct air over the front section. The Hood is hung on robust rear hinges that allow the owner to lift the Hood upwards within a few seconds to access belts, fluids, and other servicing areas, which simplifies the process of performing routine maintenance. In the early years of production, models were based on traditional stamped steel, which is known to be strong and has predictable deformation during a crash, and later models were optionally available in lightweight aluminum or fiberglass, which is attractive to drivers who require better fuel efficiency or easy manual handling. Every style should correspond to the year and exact trim of a Mazda to guarantee flawless panel fits and even airflow in the fender and the grille. Customers have the option of a panel that is factory primed to be painted by the customer, or they may choose a gelcoat finish that comes in a smooth neutral color that fits well with the exterior lines that are unique to this Mazda sport utility vehicle. Whether steel, aluminum, or fiberglass, every Hood on a Tribute has two common objectives, engine protection and style, which provide Mazda fans with a useful component while giving the vehicle an aggressive look.

Mazda Tribute Hood Parts and Q&A
- Q: How should the hood be removed and installed safely and correctly on Mazda Tribute?A:The hood itself is a little bit heavy and difficult to take out and put in, and therefore this process should be done by two or more individuals. On models that do not have a point where the washer hose can be disconnected, in the case of flexible rubber, the hose can be cut off close to the hinge of the hood and replaced with a line coupler; when it is composed of solid corrugated plastic, then take the correct steps to remove it. To start with, unfold blankets or pads to cover the hood and top of the fenders and cowl to guard against body and paint damage. Any cables or other wires that could interfere with removal, such as windshield washer tubing in early models, should be removed. To disconnect the washer line on subsequent models where there was no washer line disconnection fitting, remove the hood insulator panel fasteners, hose retaining clips and disconnect the nozzle washer connection. Draw alignment marks about the hinge of the hood and make sure it was properly positioned when installed. Pull out the hinge-to-hood bolts and take off the hood with the help of an assistant who will hold the weight of the hood. Installation is the opposite of removal making sure that the hinge bolts correspond with the marks. The hinge plate slot can be moved forward and backward or laterally by loosening the bolts or nuts and markings placed around the hinge plate to record the movement. Tighten the hinge bolts and lower the hood to test the position after correct alignment of the hood. The Hood Latch position in later models is fixed, however, the whole hood latch assembly can be moved up-and-down and side-to-side at the radiator support to allow a proper and flush locking of the fenders. Marking on the side of the hood latch mounting bolts to help it fit so that the latch assembly can be put in the proper place will require that the bolts be loosened and the latch assembly repositioned accordingly and the bolts tightened. Lastly, fit the radiator support hood bumpers by turning each end cushion clockwise to roll the hood down or anti-clockwise to roll the hood up until a straight line is formed with the hood closed and the fenders aligned. Lubricate the hood latch assembly and hinges with white, lithium based grease periodically so as to reduce binding and wear.
