Good To Know

Q: What causes the interior hood release handle to break? A: Handles typically snap due to excessive force applied when the primary hood latch under the hood is stuck or corroded.

Q: Does this kit include the long release cable? A: This item includes the interior handle and base assembly only, and does not include the metal release cable.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
