Hi,

Just wanted to chip in with my story. I had the same thing happen in my '99 civic ex coupe. The plastic piece broke and I had to open the hood with pliers pulling on the cable. Well, I decided to talk to my local Honda dealership during an oil change and found out that it has been a pretty common mishap among Civics and other Hondas. The good news was the part costs about 20 dollars. The bad one... Here is a SHOCKER for you!!! Tt will cost you about $140, $150 to put it in because you have take the front fender off. There is no other way around it. I was lucky because my car was hit on the front fender and the body shop guy put it for me at no extra charge!!!

Good luck!
