  Hood Release FAQ

  Q: Does this include the interior pull handle?

  Q: Why is my hood not opening when I pull the lever?
  A: A stretched or broken cable is one of the most common causes.

  Q: Should I replace the hood lock at the same time?
  A: Recommended if the latch is sticking or showing corrosion.

  Q: Can a worn cable cause the hood to release slowly?
