The Problem
The plastic bonnet release handle snaps making it
difficult to open the bonnet.
This information is for guidance only as models vary
by region. Please inspect your release cable to check
that it is visually the same as our images.
Associated part numbers:
The plastic handle on the bonnet release cable which
you pull to release the bonnet from inside the car is
made from a poor-quality plastic. This isn’t suited to
the force required to release the bonnet. This
inevitably snaps and breaks off making it difficult to
release and lift the bonnet. This previously
necessitated the complete replacement of the bonnet
release cable; which can be expensive and time
consuming to fit.

Fit our replacement metal handle in situ and save the
cost and time of replacing the complete cable
mechanism.
Our handle fits on the end of the cable and tightly
fastens restoring use of the cable. The handle can be
installed in as little as 10 minutes and restores full
function for the life of the vehicle.
Using our handle there is no need to replace the
complete cable mechanism. This can be very
expensive, time consuming and would only fail again.
Our handle is CNC machined from billet aluminium,
polished, black anodised then laser engraved with the
car icon (not a sticker!) to match the look of the OEM
handle but with the strength of a metal part.

Step 1: Remove Old Handle Plastic
This repair can normally be carried out in situ on the vehicle, we carried out the repair here on the bench for clarity.
Measure and mark 24mm from the metal end of handle rod.
Using a Dremmel or suitable cutting tool cut away the plastic up to this point to expose the metal core. Cut away
the plastic slowly and in increments so as not to damage the metal core.

Step 2: Fit Our New Handle
Slide our handle over the metal core of the rod and
fasten the two set screws using the allen key to
secure the handle tightly to the rod core.
This will restore function, test the operation and
further tighten the set screws if required.
