GMC Acadia Hood Cable

The Hood Cable of the GMC Acadia allows the driver to pop the hood open quickly to access engine components for repairs or inspections. Running from a release handle inside the car, the hood release cable goes to a junction underneath the sheet metal where the cable splits, and one section runs to each latch. When you pull on the release handle, it tugs the latch mechanism, freeing the hood. This permits the secondary release to keep the hood shut until you open it. The plastic sleeve on this flexible steel line is meant to protect it on any GMC Acadia. However, years of vibration, heat, and moisture may crack the coating, let water in, and eventually cause the Hood Cable to fray or stretch. If the lever is loose and the hood is still locked in position, you should change the Hood Cable. No model year differs radically in style from another, and all share the same basic two-section design. The only changes are in the length or routing to match body changes on subsequent GMC Acadia models. If an owner's Hood Cable is broken, they will not be able to open the hood at all, so the Hood Cable effort is essential every year.

Each OEM GMC Acadia 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.
