Please give us more info on the "e-release" cables!
My 27 year-old cables I feel are on borrowed time and am definitely interested!
I've seen it in a couple places. You just put a wire on the release and run it over to under your wipers, then make a loop. That way, if the hood cable breaks, you just fish out that cable and give it a yank to release the latch.
here's a video someone did of them:
Now I bought some peace of mind.
I purchased a set on eBay and installed them tonight, no problem.
Then I closed the hood to try them out.
Left side worked great.
On the right side though, the crimp in one of the pull loops let go.
I had to take the cable off, re-drill a hole for the cable in the crimp and mashed it my vise.
Same old story, someone takes a great idea and cuts as much cost out of making until it breaks on first use.
But it's bullet-proof now.
Thanks for the tip!
