My brother had the wiring eaten out of his brand spanking new Toyota pickup truck some months ago. The insurance company wanted to Total the car(!) the dealer wanted 13k another dealer wanted about 4.5 k the part is about 1.3 K but there is a considerable amount of snaking and pushing and pulling to get it installed.
He often goes 10 days or so in between episodes of driving his truck. In that time he leaves the hood up. It has worked so far.
