Stuck Hood Latch
Boy I'm just chocked full of questions..
The hood on the parts car is stuck. A frienmd of mine awas sketching the engine for an art project and I lef thim unattended. Anyhow after he left I went out to take a look at something unde rhte hood and found that he had closed the hood. I pulled the release which did not feel locked and went around to open the hood and found that the latch on the right side was hooked but not locked in the middle. I tried to push the hood down so that I could maybe pull unhook the latch but was not able to push it down and get my finger under there at the same time.
I've have been meaning to put a label there that says "don't slam the hood" on my other car because so many clumsy service guys have slammed the hood that the latch is pretty much ruined. Anyway the latch on this car is not bent but somehow I can't release the latch!!! .. maybe if I could get a piece of wire around it I might beable to puch down on the hood from above and pull it back from below???
Any ideas???
Adrian
