Ok I have to chime in again. Below is a picture of the hinge on my 1988 560SL. The only thing that can be done is to disconnect the C clip at the top of the hinge arm. But then the hood would not be secure, or locked in position.
So I have never disconnected the hinges and seen if the hood would move to 90 degrees.
Nothing is mentioned in the Service Manual about this as in the W123 manual.
SOOOOO if anyone knows something definative please chime in.
Dave
