hi all,

long time reader 1st time poster! haha

i have a 93 civic lsi and the bonnet relase cord has snapped or came undone or something, when i pull the cord the bonnet will not pop open. the bonent goes down and clicks under the lock but does not close all the way

i can drive fine and have done the last 6 months and nothing happens. but its not fully closed. so basically anyone could open my bonnet if they just went up to the car.

is this cord hard to replace and or fix??

 

yes it is hard to replace i have a 92 civic hatch and mine broke i had to take the front bumper and drivers side fender off to replace it. and getting the cable to hook up in the latch on the hood was a bitch i would get it fixed cause there is a chance your hood (bonnet) could come up when your driving

 

did you fix it or did you get a whole new cord? how long did it take?

appreciate the reply :-)

its so cold out there to be doing this but for winter coming i think im going to need to. got some work to do this weekend then

 

i went to the honda dealer and got a new cable i can't remember how much it was i think around $28.00. it didn't take me long cause ive had the front end off a few times i'd say about 2-3 hours taking your time

 

im going to see if i can get the part this week.

this weekend i plan to put my new bumper on the back if it comes in time

and paint my door strips and handles.

:-)

thanks for the info. if i get it done i will let you know how it goes, if not this weekend will be in the next month for sure

 

no problem and good luck
