Hood Latch Cable 95 X

I now have the sticking hood problem. Finally got it up today. The latch cable appears to be stretched to the point that it is not moving the latch enough. There appears to be no way to adjust the cable . New cable time...or is there a way to adjust???
Thanks,
Mark

I finally fixed it. I took the cable off the latch, put a loop near the end of the cable and pulled it tight with vise-grips. Then put it all back together. It seems to have taken up just the right amount of slack. Hope that helps you out as well.
