Default Hood latch problems...

Roughly a year ago when I changed my oil out I yanked the Hood lever too hard and the wire went out more than it should of along with the actual plastic piece breaking off. I have to use pliers to get it to open and if I want to close it I have to push the wire back in.

Just today I was changing out my oil and tried to do the same thing accept that even when I push the wire in it still doesn't latch all the way down. I'm thinking that the wire is loose because I can tug on it more than usual so is there a quick fix for this because I don't want to pay for a whole new hood latch assembly.

If I have to how much was the whole setup cost?

EDIT My car is a 1998 Honda Civic LX Sedan.
