Good info...Thanks!
My concern would be is the cable clamps slipping or the cable starting to go. My car the cable is fairly tight between both latches. The cables are held by a clamp with an Allen screw on my '82 308i.
After my fix a year ago, there have been no issues. Definitely just a matter of setting it correctly. And I hope I mentioned I was the one that was piddling around and tightened it too much hoping for a better fitment of the hood
