Default 91 ef hatch Hood wont open :(

I ended slamming my hood down too hard and now the hood latch wont open my hood. What are ways to open this hood of mine?

Get a buddy to push down on the hood while you're pulling the latch

If you don't have someone you would have to undo your splash gaurd portion of your front bumper and get a long flathead screwdriver to to unlatch it from the bottom.

lol no you unhook you latch cable from the release handle and the bolt back the release handle but let the latch cable hang out, so that you could just pull it with the pliers. trust me i use to have to do that too.. i would get my gf to push down on the hood while i keep pulling the hatch release handle. what it is, is that your latch release cable is stretched. the temp fix is to do what i told u bud and it will temp fix it
