So, I am complete moron and when I took off my grille to paint, I didnt put the latch back into it...now I can't get my hood open.

Am I screwed / will I need to break my nice newly painted grille?

I tried getting in there with my hand and a hanger, but the thing need to be pulled out, not down

Gahhh....
