SOOOO,

Need help opening the hood!!

The hood release inside the car has snapped off. I've already tried using some vise grips to yank on the wire to release the hood but it doesn't do anything. The hood just stays in place.

If I remember, the hood is just supposed to pop up and then I can slide it forward to open, correct?

Anyone know the mechanics behind the hood relase? Like where is the actual latch under the hood and is it accessable through the wheel well or something?

Thanks,

Chris
