Get a second person to press down on your hood while you pop it. Then lubricate the hood latch.

Park your car on the street and walk away... since it's a honda and they never get broken into, someone will come and pop your hood open all doors and trunk...

it depends, is the latch stuck? what happens when you pull on the cable? mine got stuck and i did the same thing as above... had a friend push down on the hood and pull back up as I wall pulling the latch in the car and it came open...

Your cable may be poped, use a flat head and pry the latch open, hood should come right up.

Is there any resistance on the latch, or is it moving freely?

If it's moving freely you have a broken cable. You'll have to find a way to pop it with a screwdriver or something. If it's not moving freely, you have a stuck cable. You'll have to find a way to pop it with a screwdriver or something.

Either way, You'll have to find a way to pop it with a screwdriver or something.

If it doesn't work out, the silver lining is that the cops can't pop your hood either.
