I have a 04 Rodeo and when I pull the latch in the cabin for my engine hood, the hood doesnt pop up the half way. The only way it works is if I place something to hold the latch up, then I have to go and lift the hood. Then I can open it. Has the cable just been stretch out and needs to be shorten or what?? I dont really know where to look to find the problem....

Not a big problem but its a inconvenience for sure.

Thanks fellow planetiers

look at the little rubber stoppers on each side of the radiator support. they unscrew to create tension. make sure they're not all the way down. adjust until it works properly.

no worries. just dont put em up too far. they just need to create enough tension to make it pop up.

Hmm... My wife's car has the same problem and I don't know why I never thought about these being the culprit.

Now you tell me! I've been reaching out and banging the hood with my fist since I put the bug deflector on the front of the hood back in 97! When it stops raining, I know what my next project is gonna be....
