Joshua, the PO on my car put another cable clamp (a brass barrel with a
hole for the cable to pass, and a lockscrew to clamp the cable down)
right behind the cable clamp on the hood release mechanism. Should the
cable slip thru the hood release clamp, it will be picked up by the
backup clamp, but obviously wont help in the case of a broken cable.
Better than nothing, anyway.

After reading some horror stories regarding hood release failure what is
the
easiest way to install a back up hood release mechanism. Also, while it
hasn't happened to me (yet) what is the best way to get into the hood
should
the mechanism fail?
