OK, plan B. Have someone push down on the hood just above the latch while you pull on the wire that was attached to the latch handle? - |
I can push the lever that unlatches from the outside, but the first release mechanism that you pull from the interior is still latched. The hook I'm talking about sawing is the one attached to the hood.

Where is the cable broken? It might have come loose from the lever in the cabin. If so. you might get to it from in the cabin.

It looks to have come undone from the hood latch mechanism. Pulling won't help in this situation

If I remember the tech went in from under the car, he just removed the lower underpanel and reached up to unlock it manually.

Have gotten this far, but the Greddy turbo set up blocks any kind of practical access to the mechanism.
Anyone know if the hood hook is replaceable? I attached a pic and looking at this picture, it seems there are two bolts that might belong to it, but I don't see a way to actually remove it if that were the case. If I can replace the hook, I'll just saw it off.
Will try the fender liners in the meanwhile.
Thanks for the help everyone!
