If the factory cable has frayed, seized, or separated, this replacement restores hood release function without changing the vehicle’s original cable-style setup.

What It Helps Fix

• Broken hood release cable that no longer opens the hood
• Frayed or stretched cable causing poor release action
• Seized cable that makes the hood lever hard to pull
• Intermittent hood latch release on a Toyota Prius or Prius V
• Loss of mechanical connection between the interior handle and hood latch

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment before installation by matching the model year and cable end style. Inspect the hood latch and interior release handle for wear before installing the new cable, since damaged related components can affect release performance. Route the cable carefully along the original path to avoid binding, sharp bends, or interference with moving parts.
