If a slack handle or a snapped cable is keeping your hood shut, the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-098 from Dorman - OE Solutions, is designed to replace it. This cable with handle is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2010 Hyundai Elantra and is built to take the place of a worn-out or broken original.
A hood release cable links the release handle to the hood latch. Pulling the handle draws the cable, which trips the latch so the hood can be raised. Over time a cable can stretch, fray or break, and the handle may then feel loose or fail to open the hood. If the cable is the cause, this assembly replaces it along with the handle.
- Direct replacement: made to match the original cable on the listed applications.
- Durable construction: produced within strict tolerances for reliable, long service.
- Cost-effective solution: comparable quality at a lower price than a dealership replacement.
- Trustworthy value: supported by a team of engineers and quality-control experts in the United States.

What are signs a hood release cable may need replacing?
Signs include a handle that feels loose or pulls with no resistance, a hood that will not release, and a frayed or broken cable. A faulty latch can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first.
