Re: hood release broke at latch. hood is shut. helppp!!!

Had that happen once on my former 95 Caprice Wagon. Was able to go underneath with a long shafted screwdriver and triggered the latch that way. Wasn't easy.

Maybe a long narrow pipe/conduit if you can snake it up to the latch mechanism. Not sure if a coat hanger wire or something you could make a hook with would work from the grill?

Granted with the Caprice I had the entire service manual set that showed me the latch assembly.

Just a thought...good luck!
