my hood latch has always given me trouble. the trouble was that once it was opened it wouldn't close like some members on here talk about. but this time it's the other way around. It's close and i can't get it to open. I pull the hood release on the inside and feel nothing. there's no tension.
Does anyone know how to open the hood? I've looked and there's been no discussion on this. Or a write up of how to take the cable out. I guess it's good that it's not stuck open but I would like to change my oil soon and other maintenance so the sooner I can get it open the better. --------------------  *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |
