When pulling the release handle no longer frees the hood, the Dorman hood release cable 912-034 can replace a worn-out or broken cable on the 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007-2010 Pontiac G5. Dorman supplies it as a hood release cable with handle and builds it to match the original cable on these vehicles, so it installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
The cable links the release handle to the hood latch. A pull on the handle draws the cable, which releases the hood latch. If a stretched, frayed or snapped cable is why your hood stays shut, this unit replaces it together with the handle.
- Direct replacement: made to match the original cable on the specific vehicles it is listed for.
- Durable construction: manufactured within strict tolerances with longevity in mind.
- Cost-effective solution: comparable quality at a lower cost than a replacement from the dealership.
- Trustworthy value: backed by a team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
Signs this part may need replacing include a handle that pulls loosely with little or no resistance, a hood that stays latched when the handle is pulled, or a handle that has broken off. A binding or seized latch can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the latch before replacing the cable. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct cable routing and installation procedure.
