I would think that this is the handles that are on the left and (or) right side of the windshield inside that car. if so there should be one or 2 oval inserts that cover the screws / bolts. carefully remove by GENTLY prying on the edge with a slow rocking motion. once removed simply remove the attaching hardware and reinstall handle ... there may be soon torque spec required if not available tighten fully and pull and twist the handle it should not move

How do i open the hood manually the latch is broken. i have a black covered cable wire and the silver part of the wire is showing. i pull the latch nothing happens to release the hood

OK, if the cable is the part that broke AND it broke at the handle, then you can use a pliers or vise grip to grab the end and pull on it to pop the hood, if it broke somewhere inside the cable, then you will need some needle nosed pliers to reach under the hood and grab it there. if it broke off at the hood latch itself, then you will need to get/ make a hook or pushing rod to engage the mechanism directly to release the latch and then replace the cable the latch looks like this:

How to replace roof grab bar ?

There are tabs to open two small covers (one on each side of the handle). Use a flat screwdriver to open them and it will expose each screw. Remove the screws and it will come off. Then do the reverse. I am assuming you mean the inside roof grab bar a and not the outside roof rack.

I have a 2004 chevy cavalier and the trunk latch won't click into place and close fully, therefore the trunk won't close fully.

yes that could be the problem. try this putt your key in to the lock and turn it to unlock it , check to see if latch is open ,while still holding the key in the unlock position close the trunk and relock it with the key while pushing down on the hood at the same time. replace the lock when you can .there is no quick fix for this unless u use a bungee cord for it .

Sway bar pin is messing on the right front

easy fix just go to your local auto parts store and buy a set. it is much easier to replace both of them at the same time, look close at the side that is still there so you under stand how they go together. and grab your tools and have a great time. before you try to replace the broke one remove the one that is still there this will make it much easier.

I was replacing the rear sway bar bushings on my 2001 Toyota Avolan. The two bolt heads that hold the u bracket on broke off. I took off the mounting plate and noted that the nuts are welded on. Do I...

You can try to drill out the broken bolts, or you can use heat, if you can grasp the bit of bolt poking out the back side of the plate. Get the bolt tips red hot with a torch or as hot as you can. Grab the parts of the bolt with a vise grip pliers and try and turn it out. If this does not work, you will have to drill a small starter hole in the bolt to weaken them and allow it to shrink a-bit and turn out.

Cable broke on my 1997 jeep cherokee, how do i pop the hood?

depends on where it broke if it broke off on the release end inside you can take off the kick panel and remove the release bracket then go up about 3-4 inches and cut the casing around the cable and grab the cable with a pair of pliers and pop the hood. then you can replace the assembly with a new one.

When i put into gear and press on the gas and the clutch out the engin revs but the car goes no where. I HAVE SIMMILAR PROBLEM. CLUTCH PEDAL IS VERY HARD ENGINE RUNNING, CAN SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS WITH...

WITH ENGINE ON & RUNNING and you are able to shift to any & or all Gears and with this theres,
No Clutch Engagement Upon Releasing Clutch
With Info Provided seems that you have 1 or all 3
of the Fallowing and they all Should be Replaced as A Set even if on lt 1 of them has Failed
  1. Clutch Pressure Plate has Failed
  2. Clutch Disc Is Worn Down
  3. Clutch Release Bearing Has Failed
All Require Removal Of Transmission this is the reasoning for Replacing all as SET with the Labor cost if your replace only 1 Item, and 3 Months later another of the 3 components Fail, you have the same Labor cost to PAY.

This Solution is Answering the SOLE Question ask, Barring No other Problems have or did Happen such as Noises Ran out Of Trans Lube. if it is the Clutch that has Failed and you are unable to Perform the Repair yyourself, DO SHOP AROUND get 5 or more Estimates as the Fee Will Vary Sometimes very wide gaps in fee's
and also Try and Purchase the Parts yourself Due to the Tremendous Markup of parts at Shops

I Hope I have Answered you Question to your satisfaction and if you have any more questions Feel free to Ask Me
