Spare part that broke immediately.

I gave this one three stars because it broke right away in the same spot as the original. I didn't give it a star because there might be a bigger issue with my hood in general. I'll never know because I had an XJ that day.

Pros
  • Direct replacement
Cons
  • Hard to say

It's not good in winter.

I originally bought this along with many other parts to make my Jeep new. It was easy to install and my only complaint was that it was a little difficult to pull off. When winter came my battery died and I opened the hood and found the grab handle didn't work. Had to tow it and they ended up cutting off the handle and pulling it out with a vise. What I originally started with.

Pros
  • EASY INSTALLATION - No special tools are required to install this exhaust bracket.
Cons
  • Expensive

Hood Release Cable Installation Note

This is an exact replacement for a 1996 Jeep Cherokee which means it will also fit earlier years. Quick Installation, Installation Note: Install from the inside of the vehicle to the end under the hood, push the grommet through the firewall from the inside of the vehicle until you can grab the other end under the hood, and pull until it snaps into the firewall. Also, the original retainers for my brake cable were Torx, so make sure you have the kit. A simple install took less than an hour, and…

Pros
  • Quality checked - tested for correct installation
Cons
  • Doubtful
