How to pop the hood with out the latch...

Can anyone help me with this. I think the cable broke and I can not pop the hood from inside the car. Do these cars have an external place where you can pop the hood with a screw driver or something? Thanks.

your going to need to reach up from the bottom provided you remove you skid gaurd on the bottom of your rad.

feel around untill you feel the cable and pull it towrads the driverside. it should pop up if you have a broken cable

if it does not pop up after consatnt pulling its you latch


the latch is in front of the rad so you may have to work from the headlight towards the latch to find whats left of your cable

oh and small hands may be a requirement
