Some one needs to find a fix for this. I am in the same boat having to "stick it" every time I want to get under the hood. Anyone know of a way to replace the wire in an existing cable assly. By the way, mine was an NOS unit when I installed it back in '85.

The fix I came up with was a wooden paint stick. It is long enough, sturdy enough and won't scratch the paint. Sliding it in the small space between the hood and grille, it works great. I carry that in my tool box. But with the cable so tight, it doesn't look right and I figure I'm on borrowed time. The next time it will be too short.
