Take a piece of string or thin wire of a proper length and join it to the end of the cable Pull the cable into the passenger compartment. Screw or join the string or wire to the new cable and then pull it back into the engine bay. Assemble the backplate with the cable and install the latch screws, and the trim panel.

Pontiac Grand Prix Hood Cable

The Pontiac Grand Prix Hood Cable offers drivers the advantage of popping the hood quickly so they can get to the engine to check or repair. Running from the release handle located by the steering wheel to a junction block under the sheet metal, this Grand Prix Hood Cable takes a simple pull and transforms it into a tug on the latch assembly that releases the catch and includes a safety stop for the hood to rise. Major models have a two-stage layout with one main Hood Cable running from the cabin lever to the splitter and two smaller secondary lines running from the splitter to each latch. This ensures both sides unlatch at the same time and the panel lifts evenly. Over the years of road grime, heat, and moisture, the inner wire can become frayed or stretched and the outer sleeve can become cracked, allowing water to seep in and accelerate corrosion, eventually causing the hood to remain locked down. Symptoms such as a loose feeling lever or a hood that will not budge indicate that the Hood Cable has failed and is due for a swap. By keeping this small part healthy, owners retain the simple convenience that defines every Pontiac performance sedan and maintain the everyday usefulness of a Grand Prix, whatever the generation rolling out of Pontiac heritage, as long as there is a working Hood Cable.

Each OEM Pontiac Grand Prix 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.
