Be prepared—this emergency hood opening tool lets you pop the hood on your 1984–1996 C4 Corvette when the factory release cable fails. Developed by Corvette Plant Action Center Technician Gordon Killebrew, it turns a frustrating “stuck hood” situation into a quick, controlled fix.

Instead of tearing into the car or risking damage, you insert the tool through the driver-side hinge area, twist, and the hood releases. Keep it in your garage or onboard for peace of mind—especially on cars with aging cables.
