I'm looking around hondaautomotiveparts, the previous owner found the stupidest way to lose it. I'm not sure where it went or what he did with it, but yeah I need a replacement one. If anybody happens to know the part that I'm talking about, (the one with the picture of the hood opening) please contact me :]

Thanks a bunch guys, I appreciate the help around here.

Oh and my car is a 97 Hatch. :]

 

It probably broke because people try to pull UP instead of straight out. Look under Hood. You can not buy the handle separate from the cable.

 

You have to buy a brand new hood cable. They're cheap tho, like $15-20 brand new from honda.

 

You have to buy the whole hood cable.

74130-S01-A01 WIRE ASSY., HOOD

It's like $15

 

if you had a 5th gen i would have one for you, but since your newer than that.

If you still have the lever, I know how to fix it and it will NEVER break.

I wish honda would have put $2 dollars worth of more engineering into this cause it brakes so fuking easy.

 

It seems like this happens to everyone at some point.

 

actually i went to honda cuz mine broke too..... it's about 35 bucks
nothing from HONDA is cheap

 

i have to yank the cable from inside my grill

same thing with my old accord, honda has bad hood latch equipment.
the latch itself gave out on me one day while on an exit ramp. hood pealed over my windsheild and busted the sun roof out and everything

The price veries from honda to honda. I got mine for a little under $20 after tax.

Edit: Noticed the OP is from Long Beach, Go to Long Beach Honda over on Spring. That is where I got mine.

 

Hmm, the lever didn't break. It's just the clip. I have to use plyers just to pop the hood.

Would I still need a whole new rail? Or is this repairable?

Thanks a bunch guys, sorry for the late response I was at school.

 

The face of mine was broken off when I bought the car. I ended up making a "Face" out of Aluminum that slipped over the remaining part of the plastic round that was left that fastened with set screws. Looks nice and an easy fix.

if i buy a whole new rail does it also come with the pulling thing? (not sure what the exact name is) it's like the actual ornament with the hood sticker on it.

i WOULD make my own but then that's really tacky you know.

 

only 20$... wtf.. i heard it was like 120... i have useing pipler to open my hood.

I think the spring must be broke also, bc it doesnt go back

 

chek out autopartspeople.com i got the piece for 13 bucks

Check out the latch assembly. The spring up there is what snaps the latch back into the "closed" position whenever the lever isn't pulled. It might need to be greased or something, or the spring that closes it might be worn. Once that's set the cable'll pull back automatically when you let go. Though I'd replace the lever (hood latch cable assembly - up above) before replacing the spring. That's just me though.

I don't get why so many pple break these? I mean yeah I see it's a piece of ****...but nothing on civics are exactly built solid as a rock...

 

Mine broke so I put a trunk actuator and button. I also hooked it up to the aux on my alarm and I can pop the hood from my remote.

good stuff

 

I just bought mine on ebay for $14.99, came brand new in plastic.

 

oh, so does the lever come with the clip to pull the hood open?

 

The hood cable comes with everything from the latch back, including the tab.

 

Ah, so that's the name. the tab! :] thanks man. i appreciate it.
