mkoch Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I closed the hood, with too much stuff on the spare tire. I pulled on the release cable hard, with no good result. The cable seems to be in good condition. Any tips for this situation? The radiator seems to block the hood latch mechanism. mkoch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadberry Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 if you have too much stuff stored on top of the spare; maybe try having someone hold down on the hood while you pull the release from within the car. it may release then.. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
