How to remove and install a hood release cable and Hood Latch on Subaru Impreza?

On 2008 and later models, remove the front bumper cover. Scribe a line around the latch to aid alignment when installing. Detach the latch retaining bolts from the radiator support and remove the latch. Note the routing of the hood release cable, then disengage the cable from the latch assembly. Installation is the reverse of removal. Disconnect the hood release cable from the latch assembly as described above. Attach a piece of stiff wire to the end of the cable. Trace the cable back to the firewall and detach all cable retaining clips. On earlier models, remove the knee bolster. Remove the hood release lever retaining screws. Disengage the cable from the hood release lever. Pull the old cable into the passenger compartment until you can see the stiff wire that you attached to the cable. A grommet insulates the cable hole in the firewall from the elements. The new cable should have a new grommet, so you can remove and discard the old cable grommet. Make sure the new grommet is already on the new cable, then detach the old cable from the wire and attach the new cable to the wire. Working from the engine compartment side of the firewall, pull the wire through the cable hole in the firewall. Installation is otherwise the reverse of the removal. Working in the passenger compartment, push the grommet into place with your fingers. Make sure it's fully seated in the hole in the firewall.

Subaru Impreza Hood Release Cable

In order for a driver to get under the hood for regular work, the Subaru Impreza Hood Release Cable lets you pop the lid open with ease. It is a crucial part that connects the lever in the cab to the twin latch mechanisms at the front. The Hood Release Cable runs from the driver handle to a junction beneath the hood of a vehicle. There, it bifurcates so both latches disengage simultaneously when pulled. The design layout of the Subaru Impreza through the years remains virtually unchanged. So while the length and precise routing will be different, there is no change to basic design. As such, you can easily swap in a Hood Release Cable that is matched to the year. Over the years, heat, road vibration, and wet weather can crack the sheath or corrode the wire. Water creeps in, making the Hood Release Cable stiff. Eventually, the cable seizes and will not allow the hood to open. Noticing extra tug force on the interior handle or a hood that won't open? It's essential to regularly check for fraying and a smooth feel of the lever. Installing a new Hood Release Cable when required will guarantee safe and reliable access to vital engine components in every Subaru Impreza.

Our website stands as the go-to online destination for OEM Subaru Impreza Hood Release Cable. With complete lines of genuine Subaru Impreza Hood Release Cable available at unbeatable market prices, we ensure top quality, reliability, and durability.
