hood latch
I have one of those preventative questions to save me a lot of hassle down the road.
Last week my gf's 02 Echo's hood cable snapped at the latch. I was able to remove the grill and manually open the primary latch and then the secondary and pop the hood. I used a bike cable with a bolt crimped on the latch end and it now works fine again. I decided to check out my 08 Yaris and realized that due to the change in hood/grill placement if my cable ever broke at the latch I am not too sure how I'd be able to manually open the primary latch. Has anyone had to do this before or know about a way to manually open the primary latch if needed? |
