Detailed Description

SKP SK721038 is a hood release cable built for vehicles that need a replacement cable to reconnect the interior release handle to the hood latch. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 912-055 for the same application. It is a practical replacement for Chevrolet Malibu and Saturn Aura models where the factory cable no longer pulls the latch cleanly or has separated at the ends. Use SK721038 when you need a direct replacement for the original hood release cable on these vehicles.

What It Helps Fix

• Broken hood release cable that will not pull the latch
• Frayed or stretched cable causing weak hood release action
• Hood that opens inconsistently from the interior release
• Latch engagement problems caused by cable wear
• Difficulty accessing the engine bay due to failed release operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment before installation. Route the cable along the original path and confirm secure attachment at the release handle and hood latch. After installation, test hood opening and closing several times to confirm smooth operation on the Chevrolet Malibu or Saturn Aura application.

Quality Assurance
