Mercedes Benz Hood Lever Repair (Fix)

 I've encountered quite a few repair issues but none can be more unnerving than not being able to get into your engine bay in your time of need. 

In this video tutorial, I repair the hood lever handle that typically pops out from the front grill when the hood release lever is pulled from inside the vehicle. 

Over time due to wear and tear, and heat degradation the plastic material that the hood handle release is made of becomes brittle with age and eventually breaks at the thinner weaker points as shown in the image below. It's beyond me why these manufacturers chose to go with plastic materials over metal or aluminum in an area that is constantly prone to heat. 

Well not to worry because in this video I show you a tip on how to still get into your engine bay even though your handle is missing and two, how to repair the issue for under $15 and a few minutes of your time. Don't waste your hard-earned money taking this simple fix to the stealership because they'll charge you over $100 and take a whole day complete this 15-minute job.
