Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-036
When pulling the release handle no longer pops the hood, the Dorman hood release cable (part number 912-129) is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2011 Kia Rio and 2007-2011 Kia Rio5. This hood release cable assembly connects the interior release handle to the hood latch, so the latch can be released from inside the cabin.
Signs a hood release cable may need replacing include a release handle that feels loose or slack, a handle that pulls without opening the hood, or a cable that sticks or binds. A sticking hood latch can cause similar symptoms, so check the latch before replacing the cable.
