OK, here is today's conundrum: I was looking at the hood latch assembly and it appears that the grommet that the hood cable goes through is partially broken (lower locating tab is broken off) and has been for a long while. The cable is actually sawing its way through the bracket. It also appears that the grommet that the pull handle passes through has a broken piece as well. Does anyone have the grommets? It appears that they may be the same grommet for both the upper cable guide and the lower handle guide.

And a big THANK YOU to FormulaBruce who found two of the hood cable grommets for me! YOUDAMAN! I installed them and it's amazing how much easier the hood opens when the cable isn't sawing through the radiator support bracket.
