Description

If a worn-out or broken cable is why your hood stays shut when you pull the handle, the Dorman hood release cable 912-470 is built to directly replace it. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2012-2015 BMW X1, 2008-2013 BMW 128i and 2008-2013 BMW 135i. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.

This hood release cable assembly is cataloged for the rear position. A hood release cable carries the pull of the release handle through to the hood latch so the hood can unlatch.

Direct replacement: designed to match the original cable on the listed applications.
Durable construction: produced within strict tolerances for reliable longevity.
Cost-effective solution: quality comparable to a dealership replacement, at a lower cost.
Trustworthy value: backed by Dorman's team of engineers and quality-control experts in the United States.

Signs a hood release cable may need replacing include a handle that feels slack or pulls with no resistance, a hood that stays latched when the handle is pulled, or a frayed or kinked cable. A seized or misadjusted latch can cause similar symptoms, so check the latch as well before replacing the cable.
