Take some pliers and grab the wire where that used to be and pull the wire.

yep
it broke in my volvo and i had to tear the whole front end off to get to the cable. it was even UNDER the wire harness

the job is between this fucking sucks and just kill me now.

To add to this if you really can't get the wire where the handle used to be. Cut hole in grill where the cable is near the latch on the hood. Cut the cable so you can grab the wire and pull it there. That's how people steal car battery's.

Hmm. Can super glue be strong enough to fix this. All that's broken is the plastic piece

You can probably find the replacement latch for under 5 bucks because Honda is all super cheap replacement parts.

a lot less things would break if they were push not pull

HAHAHA! Lol hell no.

Understandable have a good day.

Honestly if you just wanna ghetto rig it up get a small pair of vice grips and clamp them onto the wire. Now your hood realease is a vicegrip not a plastic handle.

I really doubt glue will fix that. Replace latch or just keep some pliers on the car

This to keep the cable from disappearing too deep in your dash to fish out while you wait for the $5 replacement >>17281242 mentioned to arrive in the mail.

new ones cost 15 bucks right from honda.

You're welcome.

>fucking cables how do they work

>>17281179
Take it to the dealer and have them fix it. Are you covered under warranty?

Wait, you didn't buy a new car?

Lol poorfag.

Not the person you replied to, but you could have a push button if it was hydraulic.......like how brakes work. But everyone uses cables because they're simpler and much harder to break.

Others have suggested using vice grips or plyers while you wait for the OEM replacement to come in

Here's another option

I would just get a genuine replacement though.
