What It Helps Fix

• Replacement needs after cable wear from age, movement, or routing damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment before installation by matching the model year and application. Route the cable along the original path to avoid binding, and confirm the release handle end and ball end are seated correctly before testing hood operation. Because the latch is not included, reuse the existing latch assembly if it is serviceable.
