Premium Material: Our cable for the hood has two crucial parts, including the eyelet end fitting and the wire, which are constructed from steel and rubber. It will efficiently work against changing weather, water, and road grime, withstanding the weight of the hood and handling the tension of heavy hood swinging open & closed, keeping it from overextending or snapping back.

Installation Guide: The hood cable installation process requires proper attention and tools to do so. It will be best to seek professional assistance, but if you wish to do it yourself, then follow the steps below:-

• Safety is first. So wear safety gloves and eye protection. Do not use excessive force and ensure the hood is supported properly.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface.
• Turn off the engine and engage the parking brake.
• Disconnect the battery to restrict electrical hazards.
• Remove the old cable (keep the existing hardware as it’s not included in our product).
• Connect one end of the hood restraint cable to the hood structure and secure it with a bolt/nut.
• Connect the other end to the chassis or radiator support.
• Test the tilt by gently opening the hood and observing the movement.

Replacement Guide: If you don’t want to bear costly hood damage and dangerous failures, then do check for these key signs below:-

• Visible Fraying or rust on the cable.
• Loose, sloppy, or stretched movement—the hood doesn’t stay aligned or swings too far.
• Snapped, loose, or weakened spring, affecting the tension.
• Eyelets/ends are bent, cracked, or no longer sit securely.
