Has anyone successfully replaced their original Volvo hood cable assembly with a Volvo OEM part? I ordered and tried to install a Scan Tech part but finally gave up and sent the thing back as the piece that is supposed to snap into the firewall and house the pull handle wouldn't snap/stay in. The parts house that sold me the Scan Tech admitted several people have had the same problem and supposedly Scan tech is addressing the issue. I was thinking about buying a Volvo OEM part but wonder if I will run into the same problem.

In the meantime, I oiled up my old Volvo assembly per Don. Foster's instructions and reinstalled it. If only I could get it to snap back in to the firewall I wouldn't need to buy another. I wished I would have found out about Don Foster's method before I started this mess.
