Hello everyone,

I stopped by the car today and I was unable to open the hood! I can unlock it from inside the car, open the spring-hinged latch from the front grill area, but when I pull up only the left side will start to open. The right side will not budge. I tried working it up and down, left to right, etc., but no luck.

When you're standing in a field trying to open a car hood you start to remember that when you parked it the hood was a little tricky to open. IIRC once the hood was "popped" while opening the hood you had to move the hood up and down while opening it. Then once it was past a point the hood would open normally.

I could never figure out why it did this ... but I am now starting to think this is likely the hood problem I have now, but manifested into a new and more irritating problem! Any suggestions?

Thanks!
