I went to pull the hood lever this evening and it came right off. I'm looking at the plastic gear-like teeth on this thing, and they are pretty well stripped!

Probably not good to just try and epoxy it all back together, I guess I'll order a new one from the dealer.

Is this a common problem?

Thanks again -- this is a great forum.

Do you mean the lever inside the car (in the driver's foot well), or the little black plastic tongue thingy that extends out from under the front of the hood when you pop the latch?

Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant the release lever that is inside the driver's side foot well.
