2010 Chevrolet Malibu Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable for the Primary Latch Release on 2010 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Start by opening the hood as the first step to replace the Hood Cable. Then remove the upper fascia support. Record the latch position on the body before you take out the hood latch bolts and squeeze the hood release cable retainer to remove the hood latch connection. The first steps entail removing the hush panel from the instrument panel and side trim panel retainers and knee bolster from the instrument panel. Secure the end of wire or string within the passenger compartment after removing the hood latch release cable handle bolts. The wire or string should be tied to the hood cable's end for future installation. A flat-blade tool should extract the grommet from the open engine area through the passenger section of the car while the hood cable must leave the panel to be free of all wires. Following the installation route, guide the string through the instrument panel hole with the small flat-bladed tool until the grommet achieves full insertion. Set the hood cable ball into position on the latch while tightening the hood latch fasteners to 10 Nm (89 lb in). Finish the replacement by reattaching the upper fascia support together with the knee bolster and hood latch release cable handle and side trim panel and the hush panel.
