Hi,bought this parts car last weekend,it's a1976 2.0lt car. Can't get the front trunk to open. The release works as it should but won't pop the hood. Any ideas?

QUOTE(Dlee6205 @ Mar 8 2026, 10:22 PM)  This is a late car… there are no bumper bolts in the wheel wells. There’s two bolts on the underside that attach the bumper to the bumper shocks. But otherwise yes, remove the front bumper and find the access hole to manually pop the latch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) BUBs Have you tried using 2 people, one to pull the handle, the other to coerce the hood open, it could just be stuck to whats left of the rubber seal… |
