Product Details

Designed for 2003-2008 Honda Element models with a black seat cushion pad, this hood release cable addresses a common failure point when the original cable stretches, frays, or breaks. The cable routes from the interior release handle to the hood latch, allowing the hood to open smoothly when the release is pulled.
