New hood release cable - having trouble w/ firewall grommet
How the *#@$ do I get the hood latch cable grommet in the firewall? I can't seem to get the damn thing pushed in the hole. I tried some handsoap to help out but I just can't contort my arm in there enough to get enough leverage/pushing power. I know the hood release cable is a common issue. Can anyone tell me how they did it. I'm about to say screw it and put some silicone or a little bit of that expanding foam insulation.
