My hood won't pop open

[jdenommee]

Hi guys,

I'm in a bit of a pickle. I've been trying to pop the hood of my vidbe for a couple of days now and it won't budge a bit. The secondary latch, the one you press with your fingers, is working correctly but the main one is not activated by the pull cable. When I pull it I can hear the "clunk" sound it makes but no movement. I tried opening it from under with a screwdriver with my son pulling the latch cable but I can't get it to move.

Any idea...

will have to put preston in the car and washing fluid in a matter of days

thanks

When I had this problem with mine, I just had to have someone pulling up on the hood while someone else pulled the release by the driver's seat. Another thing I've seen on other vehicles is the latch rusting shut. Just had to get some wd-40 on the latch and wait 10 minutes. Didn't come off easy but it eventually started working again.
