does anyone know how to get a hood "unstuck". the latching mechanism seems to be damaged, and when i lift up on the hood latch in the car it makes like a grinding kinda noise... i tried prying it open but ended up making a small dent in my hood

 

You could either...

A - Get a set of needle nose pliers and try to pull on the cable from behind the hood release latch...

or

B - Have someone try prying it open while you pull on the latch...

thanks for your responses bro, i appreciate it, i was gonna try to have some lift while i pull, but i need 2 people... im gonna try that when i get home from work...

 

No problem man... I've had this happen before, ended up just going to junkyard and taking the whole latch assembly for $5 bucks off another coupe... But yeah give it a shot when u have an extra hand around and that should give you the leverage ya need.. GL

 

wish ya luck... my hood latch stuck and with me messing with it ive got about 3-5 dents in the hood from trying to push it closed HUGE PITA! id always recomend some WD-40 every oil change... sucks! now i look at them every day and want to kick my self!

way to point out the needle in a hay-stack bro. haha

 

i think its 2 10mm bolts to take the latch out, just use like 3 long extensions to take that off
