Detailed Product Overview

This Dorman hood release handle is built for drivers dealing with a cracked or detached interior hood release. The handle uses an improved design that secures to the cable with a push nut instead of screws or bolts, reducing the chance of loosening over time. It is a direct repair-focused solution for Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Honda Element, and Honda CR-V applications where the original plastic handle has failed. Part number 46913 is intended to restore normal hood release operation while matching the factory look of the original component.

This part cross-references Honda OE numbers 74130S04A01ZA and 74130S5DA01ZA for the same application.
