Chevrolet HHR Hood Cable
The Chevrolet HHR Hood Cable is the link that connects the cabin release lever to the hood latch so you can pop the hood and gain access quickly. A Hood Cable that pierces through the firewall routes to a junction block. The cable then branches into two secondary cables that pull each latch. Thus, both sides of the hood lift together with a single pull. Throughout its many years of production, the compact Chevrolet HHR utilizes this twin-path style rather than changing over to a single-latch scheme like some other cars. As such, the primary Hood Cable works with shorter lateral cables to keep fit and release action balanced. If the Hood Cable gets frayed, stretched, or has any cracks in the outer sheath, moisture gets in and corrosion builds up, which causes the lever to become limp and the hood to get stuck. Having the Hood Cable spare often saves owners from the frustration of a stuck hood, which blocks access to essential fluids and belts. Regular checks for smooth motion and prompt replacement of a weakened Hood Cable are the key. The HHR has an interior handle that is within reach and a simple cable route, which makes it easy to install a new line. This allows you to have the feel of a factory line without any adjustments. The Chevrolet hood can be released with the right amount of tension and, when closed, does a good job sealing the engine bay from the weather.
