In many cars, the engine and all the main elements of the fuel system are located in the front end and are protected from various damage and precipitation by the bonnet. In turn, the bonnet is equipped with a special lock, which serves as a safeguard against self-opening of the bonnet lid while driving and against the penetration of strangers into the engine compartment. Such a lock is opened inside the passenger compartment using a traction lever connected to the lock with a metal cable.

The cable is located under the bonnet of the car, while its control unit is located in the passenger compartment. This spare part is made mainly of steel, which makes it reliable and durable. The part also serves as a connecting element between the lock and the car's cabin.

The usage of the BLIC brand Bonnet Cable

The bonnet cable is subjected constantly to stress, which can cause it to wear out. It happens that the part is covered with corrosion. In this case, the bonnet lock may stick. In such a situation, it is usually sufficient to clean the cable.

Often the part breaks off, so a partial or complete replacement may be required. If a break occurs at the junction, then it will not be difficult to repair the lock system. Often there is a problem with opening the bonnet when the cable is torn. This can be done by pulling on the cable (if it is within reach).
