My next big problem is to get the hood back open so I can check!! We shut it when the hood latch was really tight (had been stuck open)... now it's stuck shut, and all my pulling on the hood release isn't popping it open. (Heavy sigh.) It's always something.
Have someone lean on the hood with all their weight over the latch while someone else tries to pull the hood release under the dash. With weight down on the hood you may relieve some tension on the latch.
