Emergency Hood Release
Anyone have the Emergency Hood Release Lanyard? (Item #604-803 in Mid America Cat.) Wondering if it's worth installing.

Unless I'm missing something, it would appear that once installed anyone can walk up and open the hood from the outside. True or false?

Was thinking the same thing.
From what I read, it's tucked away under front of hood near windshield, so unless someone knows to look for it....

Absolutely worthless until the hoods jammed . Cost a couple of
bucks, easy install and I probably will never need it. Of course
if some how that one in a million time the hood wont open-------
you bought the insurance. The wires tuck down out of sight and
most folks couldn't find them. Good luck
