I have 2012 Tahoe z71 and when trying to open my hood in this cold Chicago weather the plastic broke. I haven’t been able to find a part# has anybody in here replaced it yet?

Thank you very much!! So the whole cable has to be replaced too? The plastic piece is what broke, I saw that they sell it for the early 2000s model? Thank you again for that quick response

No. There’s a slot for the cable to be slid out of the handle, but I haven’t seen the handle sold without the cable.

Might still be able to just swap the handle but the old one is 12 years old. I would do the whole thing.

going to be a lot easier to just have someone hold the hood latch open and just change the handle inside, holding the latch open allows you to disconnect the cable easily.

Whats your diagnosis on this latch situation? Ice cold winter up north, went to pop the hood to see where my evap solenoid is (chasing down a P0496) and the hood lever was hard to pull, after finessing it the hood popped open. Went to close it and it wont fully latch. The bead at the end of the wire at the handle came loose, no plastic seemed broken on handle or anything screwed up at latch/spring. However there is no tension. What do you think? Latch stuck or snapped cable?

Really hard to say you just kind of have to take a closer look at the latch and the spring and cable

Spring on latch has strong tension. Just too tight to push down all the way into fully latched position
