2009 Chevrolet HHR Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable for the Primary Latch Release on 2009 Chevrolet HHR?

  A: The Hood Cable replacement process starts by opening the hood followed by Hood Latch removal. To begin the process remove the left hinge pillar trim after disconnecting the Hood Cable from both the Hood Latch and the hood release handle. First secure a string loop to the Hood Cable for easy placement through the cabin and then detach both the hood grommet from the wheel opening and pull out the Hood Cable from inside the vehicle. Begin the installation by placing the string onto opposite ends of the new Hood Cable and then guide both parts through the passenger compartment space. Finally cut away the string. Drive the Hood Cable grommet into its proper position in the cowl then link the Hood Cable to the handle mechanism. Reinstall the left hinge pillar trim followed by pulling the Hood Cable into the engine compartment with its string and removing the string at the end. Finish by mounting the Hood Latch while completing the hood's closure.
