Hit a dog this evening. Couldn't find the owner nor the dog. Police now looking for the dog and the dog's owner. A big English Bulldog
Can't open the hood and the headlights won't close. It was dusk and the lights were on. Bumper top and bumper damaged. Valance survived the hit. Suspect the structure behind is also damaged. What to do ??? I'm no body man !!! Where to get this fixed ?? Northern Ohio Area Attached thumbnail(s) |

Definitely pull the relays for the lights, or maybe just disconnect the battery. That'll make sure nothing can short out.
If you need to get into the front trunk, remove the bumper. Two bolts in each front fender, and it will drop off. Then there should be a hole in the middle of the panel behind it that you can stick a screwdriver through to manually actuate the latch. I don't know if that will be enough, though, as yours does seem to be mechanically wedged. But it's a start... --DD |
