Review on Red Billet Aluminum Hood Latch Release Handle Cable Repair Kit for CRV 1997-2006, Element 2003-2011, Ridgeline 2006-2014, Civic 1996-2011 by Keith Aluguvelli

I like this product, but I have concerns. The set screws I received were not only too short, but one was a hex head (wrench was included) and the other was for a flat head screwdriver. If you get them there, you are using very few threads. The drilled and tapped holes were unevenly spaced, with one roughly in the middle and the other closer to the bottom of the inner hole. The main problem is that it doesn't work well with the Dorman replacement cable. . I bought both at the same time to avoid problems in the future. It has a round hole, the Dorman cable has a very short and square cable end after the plastic is removed. all plastic must be removed. and the shaft needs to have rounded corners to fit, it's also short, it attaches the handle directly to the mount to allow any cable to be pulled. I'll try moving the mount and hopefully get some more room for my fingers behind it, or cut a nice piece of trim. If the seller sees this, you would definitely consider making a longer one with a square hole for non-factory Honda cables. gratitude
