Saved money by buying our own car parts from AutoPartsWAY, rather than locally or from the dealer. This item worked like a charm, restoring our ability to open our car's front, and allow us to service it. We are satisfied.

Fit was exactly right for the 97 Corolla
-
A little softer on the pull than OEM, but it works
-
Very easy to install. It is much tighter to pull the release now. Maybe I got used to the old one as it wore out it lost tension. But so far it works great. I didn't have to remove the battery or anything. Just a bit tight fit getting the old latch inside the car out. I have arthritis in my hands and still managed to change out the old to the new in about 20 minutes. Oh, I have a 2001 Mustang GT.
-
fast shipper. excellent quilty less cost then from dealer !
-
Worked great on my 2002 Chevy blazer!
-
Cable works great, pain in the a** to change. All I needed was the lever; stupid design. But it's a Chevy, what else can I say?
-
It is a little tight with the release but it works which is what we bought it for.
-
And honestly better made than the OEMFitting these is a pain in the a$$. Hands will be scratched and new words added to the dictionary but overall, very happy it fits and performs nicely

This was perfect. When replacing your cable I recommend using safety wire (or a reasonable facsimile) to tie to the engine compartment end of old cable before you pull it through the fire wall. Then tie the wire to the engine end of the new cable and pull it through the fire wall. If you lube up the outer sheath with some silicone grease or sil-glide (NAPA) it will go through easily. This fix only took me about an hour and most of that was taking out the hood latch (which I reused) fender liner and head light. Hood releases just fine now.

This is exactly what it is described to be. It is NOT easy to install any of these cabled but this cable is an exact replacement from the OEM and works as it should
-
Sad the original was so cheap, but this one was more or less a direct replacement and is still doing the job. The real problem is in the latch mechanism, which rusts and makes the release cable work extra hard. Some oiling on a regular basis should help.
-
Got it right the first time, usually I have to return products like this two or three times before getting the right one.
-
I think I bought this for a 2003 taurus, was challenging to install, but that was due to ford design, have to remove inner fender liner to find where the cable goes though the firewall, make sure u tie a string to old cable as you pull it out and then tie string to New part to aid in installation, once New part was in it worked perfect.
-
Judging by the prices AutoPartsWAY charges for auto parts-I've been getting ripped off all these years by my local auto parts store.
-
The part worked great. The handle had broke off of the original latch, so we couldn't get the hood open. My son went online and found we could reach in and just cut the old one to get the hood opened. Then he installed it himself! We were also having trouble with the hood staying down on one side and it even seemed to help with that problem! The part came in like 36 hours! We were very impressed!!
-
Fit my 01 Cherokee perfectly. I actually broke the handle off my old one. This costs $90 from the dealer.
-
looked for a latch localy and found a big run around and a lot of this may fit maybe and then this one can in and saved the day
-
This product was an excellent product to pick up for me and the arrival/delivery and expectations of this product exceeded all expectations. I am glad that I was able to locate this item on AutoPartsWAY and it was priced perfectly, much needed
-
Took a little time to install. I needed to take off the claw set up to latch the hood. Not sure if that was needed but made it very easy to install. Hardest part was fitting the rubber groment in the firewall hole. I can't believe I went a couple years of pulling the chord with plyers instead of just buying this product.
-
the hood release was in excellent new condition, it was what we ordered and it got here quickly.
