Q: CANT OPEN MY HOOD. HELP. INTEGRA CANT POP OPEN HOOD Plz help
well i just fixed my bumper sag by flipping the bumper reinforcemnt bar b/c whoever installed it had it upside down. then my bumper fit perfect, but then i noticed that i could not pop open the trunk with the lever (probably the line was stuck or kinked somewhere), so i just opened it the manual way by going by the grill. then 1 day later, i just opened it with the grill method, and then closed it. and now i try to open it throught the grill and it dsnt not open, looks like the cable fell off the latch? now im stumped and dont know how to pop open my hood anymore. car is a 95 RS /w JDM ITR front end.. only thing i can think of is to remove my bumper. but that will be kind of hard w/o opening my hood b/c i just changed the oem clips to bolts and nuts and washers and if i take off bumper w/o poping my hood, my grill might get fcked up.. plz help..
*EDIT FIXED IT. hood wire fell off the lil hook and the little ball was extended way too long so had to pull the little ball and put the lil thing back on the hook and now everything works

Had the same trouble once. In the end I sprayed WD40 around the latch (used the red tube to squezze through the gap) then used a flat head screwdriver to lift up the latch.
