HELP!!! I cannot get my hood open! FIXED!!!
Hi guys,
I made a big dumb mistake today! I was changing the valve cover gaskets today and finished up and went to shut the hood. It was at that exact time that I saw my flashlight still under there. Well the hood came down but didn't shut quite right. The driver's side was almost completely closed but the passenger side was up about an inch and a half (because the flashilight was obstructing the hood).The hood release wouldn't work because it had the flashlight was obstructing it. I managed to squeeze the flashlight from under the hood by pulling up on the passenger side of the hood. Now the hood is "shut" but not quite as well as it used to. And the hood release still doesn't work. I cannot get my hood open now. Any tricks? I appreciate any suggestions! What a stupid mistake!!!
