Hood Release

How do you get the hood open if the hood release cable broke? I tried bumping it in the corners and around the release area and nothing is happening.. Please please help me.

sometimes, if you can get a screw driver through your grill, you can trip the release that way...

:iagree:

or

you can take off your front bumper and take the whole latch all together. I'm sure once you do that you get a clear view of the latch and all you have to do is remove about 4 10mm screws. It doesnt hurt to try because either way to replace your hood cable you need to take off the latch, and re-run the cable. Hopefully this helps. Good luck. Late.

damn I didnt realize this thread was this old....oh well.
