Whether you're replacing a stretched or seized cable or
completing a restoration, this OE Match cable provides a simple and reliable
solution.
What Does the Front Bonnet Release Cable Do?
The bonnet release cable transfers movement from the interior release handle to the bonnet latch mechanism.
Its functions include:
- Releasing the front bonnet safely
- Providing smooth operation of the bonnet latch
- Allowing easy access to the luggage compartment
- Ensuring reliable opening without excessive force
A correctly functioning cable is essential for convenient access and everyday usability.
Why Do Bonnet Release Cables Fail?
Over time, continual operation and exposure to moisture can cause the cable to deteriorate.
Common causes of failure include:
- Cable stretching
- Frayed or broken strands
- Corrosion inside the cable sheath
- Seized or stiff operation
- Lack of lubrication
- Wear at the cable ends
As the cable wears, the bonnet may become difficult to open or fail to release altogether.
When Should It Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended if you notice:
- Increased effort needed to release the bonnet
- A stiff or sticking release handle
- Visible fraying or corrosion
- An intermittent or unreliable bonnet release
- During restoration or latch refurbishment
Replacing the cable before it fails completely helps prevent the inconvenience of a bonnet that cannot be opened.
