Last week my lever for the front hood opening broke again. I changed it shortly after buying the Think about 2 years ago. It had always been quite hard to pull and finally this took its toll on the lever.

I went to the Ford dealer and asked for a new one costing about SEK 200 the last time and got a little shock when he told me that this part was discontinued and there was no substitute. It seems Ford discontinues parts when they are about 15 years old and the last time this was used was in Mondeo -98.

Luckily it is possible to open the hood without this lever but it is not a quick fix.

Has anybody else had this problem ?
How did you solve it ?
