What It Helps Fix

• Broken or cracked hood release handle
• Loose handle that no longer pulls the release cable cleanly
• Difficulty opening the hood from inside the cabin
• Worn interior release point on Mercedes-Benz C230, C240, C280, C320, C350, C32 AMG, or C55 AMG models
• Replacement needs for vehicles using OE number 2038870527

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE number and chassis breakpoints before ordering, especially on 2001-2004 Mercedes-Benz C-Class applications. Compare the original handle shape, mounting points, and cable interface to the V30-1890 before installation. Confirm the hood release cable operates freely, since a damaged cable can affect handle performance even when the handle itself is replaced.

Quality Assurance

VAICO is used for aftermarket replacement parts with OE-number-based fitment references, and this handle is listed with direct application data for select Mercedes-Benz C-Class vehicles. Confirm vehicle year, model, and chassis range against the fitment notes to ensure correct selection.
