Hey guys, I recently broke my hood release latch on my 2000 civic si. I guess I pulled it on a bad angle or something. In order for me to pop the hood, i have to take the plastic panel off and pull the lever. Is there a way to replace the latch? I tried glueing and taping it but didn't hold up that long.

It's not that big of a deal, just sort of a hassle. any help is greatly appreciated.

later.

 

mine broke off a while ago i here it happens to some ppl. i ust keep a pair of plyers in my car so i just use those to open my hood

 

yeah, that works. I just hate ghetto rigged stuff in my car. lol.

I want to, but how do you replace it? is it easy? When I crunched myself up in there, it looked like it was going to be a pain.

I got a new one from Honda for less than $20, I believe Majestic (www.hondaautomotiveparts.com) has them for like $15. Very easy to replace too.
