This used OEM Mercedes-Benz rear hood Bowden/release cable, part number 1668800059, is a genuine factory component for many GL, GLE, GLS, and ML models. Also called a rear release cable or bowden cable, it replaces earlier numbers 1668801101 and 166880110164. This cable connects the interior release handle to the hood latch; a frayed or broken cable makes the hood impossible to open, leaving you stranded without access to the engine bay.
