When the hood won't pop because the cable has stretched or snapped, the Dorman hood release cable 912-460 is built to replace it. This rear hood release cable assembly from Dorman - OE Solutions is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 BMW X5, and it is made to match the original cable it replaces.
A hood release cable links the interior release handle to the hood latch, so pulling the handle draws the cable and releases the latch. If the cable itself has failed, this assembly is designed to replace it.
- Direct replacement: made to match the original cable on the listed application.
- Durable construction: manufactured within strict tolerances with long service in mind.
- Cost-effective solution: comparable quality at a lower cost than a replacement bought at the dealership.
- Trustworthy value: backed by a team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
Signs a cable may need replacing include a release handle that feels slack or pulls with no resistance, a hood that no longer releases, or a cable that is frayed, kinked or sticking. The latch and handle can cause similar symptoms, so check them as well before replacing parts.
