Chevrolet Cobalt Hood Cable
Chevrolet Cobalt Hood Cable allows drivers to quickly pop the hood to check fluids or fix parts without the fuss. This thin steel core wire covered with protective casing connects the cabin release handle to the front latch. As the lever is pulled, the Hood Cable pulls the catch free so that the hood is raised slightly and can be raised fully by hand. Most Cobalt models use a primary Hood Cable that stretches from the dash handle to a junction block. Then, short secondary lines radiate outwards towards each of the side latches, providing even release across the front edge. Earlier years share the same two-stage arrangement, but later versions retained the same design and had a better outer coating that resists cracking, an important upgrade since moisture that creeps past damaged sheathing can corrode strands and cause the cable to stick or snap. When a Hood Cable gets frayed or stretched too much, the driver can pull on the lever but feel nothing occur, leaving the hood down until the worn component is replaced with a new one that gives normal leverage and travel. Regular checking of the Hood Cable on any Chevrolet Cobalt to ensure smooth movement of the lever and no damaged casing helps you catch trouble in its early stages and preserve the easy access to the engine that Chevrolet built into the model.
Each OEM Chevrolet Cobalt Hood Cable we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.

- Q: How to replace a hood cable on Chevrolet Cobalt?A:Open the hood and place blankets or pads over the fenders and cowl area of the body. Remove the hood latch bolts from the radiator support, including the hood latch mounting bolts and release cable bracket. Disconnect the hood cable by rotating the spring to provide slack and disconnect the cable from the hook in the spring. Inside the vehicle, use a trim tool to disengage the clips and remove the left carpet retainer/kick panel. You can use a trim tool to pry up the carpet retainer section of the driver's kick panel and release the clips at the door jamb to remove the carpet retainer/kick panel. Slip two small screwdrivers behind the hood latch handle and pry it from the body, sliding the handle rearward. You may need a screwdriver to pry it rearward. Free the cable end from the handle assembly. Pull back the carpeting on the driver's side and push the rubber hood cable grommet through the firewall toward the engine and pull the hood cable from the interior into the engine compartment. With the new cable attached to the wire or string, pull the wire or string back through the firewall until the new cable reaches the latch. Check that the cable grommet is properly seated in the engine compartment firewall. It should be seated in the firewall and not leak. Working in the passenger compartment, reinstall the hood latch handle into the bracket, sliding the handle onto its bracket until the retainer clips snap into the notches in the bracket. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.
