stuck hood latch - 5/17/2006 2:51:25 PM    steve47714   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/17/2006 Status: offline Does anyone have an idea how I can get the hood to open from outside the car? Last night I dropped the hood after finishing a little minor engine work. Today when I pulled on the hood release only the driver's side latch opened. I can't see the latch on the passenger side to pop it open. Can it be accessed from under the car? Thanks Steve Post #: 1

Extreme case would be cutting the cable to the passenger side and pulling to unlatch the other side. _____________________________ L.B.
