thanks guys...was able to have my daughter pull with both hands on the release handle while I pushed and pulled on the front of the hood....the mechanism was releasing part of the way but not all the way....finally after a couple of tries, the hood popped open...
I then readjusted the latch, took all the slack out of the release cable. Several dry runs just setting the latch by hand as the trunk was open...worked fine. Finally re-shut the hood and it worked better than it has since I reassembled things... Should have taken the time to readjust during reassembly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
