I had an interesting thing happen. The split rolled pin which mounts the hood release latch into the lower dash area backed out and made it very difficult to open the hood. I was able to find it when I removed the lower carpeted trim (5 nut driven screws and 2 torx screws later!) Put it back in place .. a bit difficult because of the tension on the latch springs working against me. So, I just jammed a tongue depressor in each hood latch to remove the pressure and the pin was able to be pressed in place under the dash. Now, if it fell out once, what will stop it from falling out twice? Ah hah.. I got it.. I wired a plastic tye-wrap through the split pin and around the mounting bracket and cinched it onto itself .. won't slide out now.. EVER.
If anyone has a problem like this here's the fix. Quite easy and permanent!
