ok, so the handle broke off inside the vehicle, where you can pop the hood. Does anyone know if I can just replace the handle, or do I have to replace the entire cable now? Thanks!

EDIT: This was like this when I bought it... so no... lol... I didn't break it!

 

Anyone?

 

You will have to replace the entire hood latch and wire to the hood deally. Its number 6 in the picture.

You can order them here http://www.hondaautomotivepart...=HOOD

 

It's a $15 cable from honda. The whole thing needs to be re-done.

 

**** I knew it... I was just trying to avoid taking the fender off.. I was just trying to see if their was any other way.

 

I replaced one w/o removing the fender, but removal of the front bumper is required (but easier).

Take this opportunity to relocate the hood pop and hide the cable. Good anti theft measure.

 

I think i have a spare one, if you're interested I can give it to you for 10 shipped

 

****! mine just broke off too. I don't feel like replacing all that ****

I'll take it... do you use paypal?

 

96-00's are notorious for this happening. I just keep a pair of pliers next to my seat for when I need to pop my hood.

 

if you have to take your fender off to change that then you are doing something wrong.. it took me 15 minutes to remove the old one and run the new one in without taking the fender off..

I'm basing this on when I had to do this in my CRX... but their are clips all along the inside of the fender where the cable is attached... is it like that with the 96-00 civics? I havn't actually looked at it yet because I wanted to wait until I know that I had to replace the entire cable.

Yea, those clips will be in there, but you can pull them out with needle nose pliars and then pop them back in once the new cable is threaded through them.

 

i just got done puting onw in my car and 3 days later my grandpa pulled it off.

But that would require taking the driver side fender off if I'm not mistaken. How else would you get to them?

You can take the fender cover(i forget the actual name the part) off.. I'm talking about the black plastic cover.. There are screws that hold it on.. Just take a couple screws off and pull it back. This will expose the clips and cable. Then just pry them off(carfefully, as to not damage the fender) and run the new cable through them and then pop them back in. It's pretty easy.

I might have taken off the wheel.. I don't remember exactly..

Double checked and I do have it, Yes I take paypal.. Moises357533@aol.com, I can drop by the post office and send it today if you pay early enough... Be sure and let me know once you've paid

 

You've got cash! Thanks for the help man... let me know what other parts you have that I could use!

I'm looking for the cup holder for the 96-98 civics, with the little cover that goes over the actual holders... wouldn't happen to have that too would ya?? Mine just doesn't stay down.

 

Sorry dont have that, I'll email you a little later tonight with a tracking number

 

Thanks for the help man! I really appreciate it!

hahaha so do i.....

 

same thing happened to me only the little gray clip broke...i can still pop the hood and all just not with the inside latch...can i just get a new clip or do i have to do the same process?

someone was telling me that you have to replace the whole entire thing... that's why I was asking on here to get some closure... I was trying to avoid that!

They're actually one piece... I think the latch was made to be attached to the cable.
