Has anyone installed the hood release cable for their LS?


Back Story: One windy day, I was cleaning under the hood and had left it open; when a gust of wind made the hood slam close. After that, I had difficulty closing the hood unless the cable randomly snapped the latch closed.
I replaced the hood latch assembly but it didn't really solve my problem. When I pop the hood, the latch assembly stays open and doesn't snap back. Almost like the cable is too long?

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks.

You are going to need a hood cable. I had the same problem, the hood cable gets rusty and binds. Changing it is not that hard. Should take you about 1/2 to an hour tops.
