Default urgh! my hood wont open
i went out to check on the overheating problem ive been having and i go to open up the hood and the latch that you pull doesnt pop out of the grill.. rather i look through the grill and the latch seems to be stuck. anyone have this problem or know how i can get the hood open again?

Default Try this
Press on the center of the hood firmly and then head back into the car and give the release one quick pull. If that doesn't work ger a partner to help press on the hood while you pull the handle.

Was the last time you opened the hood the time that you changed the grills?

Default Heheh . . . . .
If that's it, and you haven't gotten it open yet, email me. I did the same, and it's a bear to figure out!
