Review on πŸš— Civic Hood Release Latch Handle Repair Replacement for CR-V, Element, and Ridgeline - 1997 to 2014 Models by Brandon Gaines

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can easily open the hood of my Civic again

I bought this hood latch handle for my 1998 Honda Civic. A cheap plastic OEM latch broke when I pulled on it one day. This hood latch handle solved my problem. Once I was able to cut off the black plastic tube covering the metal latch wire I installed this handle and now I can open the hood latch without having to use the vise again. I didn't use the 2 set screws provided as I was concerned they might strip the threads and pop out the latch handle so I found 2 screws lying around that were actually for the number plate but they had the same threads. So I used these screws as a set screw and it works! The locking handle is nice and secure there and doesn't come loose. I recommend this hood latch handle. Looks nice and the quality is great too!
