    Hood stuck shut and kidney release busted...any tips

    i've seen tons of threads about how to get past a broken cable and i know about the flat head bypass though the kidney grill. but my flat head bypass is broken...just looks like a hole.

    no flat head slot. ANY idea how i can get this popped open now?

    cheers

    Get like a pointed punch or a Philips screw driver and put it in the hole thats on your hood latch. Give the screwdriver/punch a little tap and your hood should pop open. That one hole right there is the one you want to put the tool through.
