Default Re: Hood Safety Latch

Your pick: a paint stick available for free from local hardware store or an interior pry tool available from most auto part stores as part of a set.
Open the hood latch from inside the car so hood pops open a small amount. From the front of the car using left hand lift hood up until the latch prevents from opening. Slide either "tool" flat sided under hood (just below the edge of the oval hood emblem. That should place it under the latch where your fingers would normally lift. ROTATE the "tool" , hood will open. Takes a little practice, but works for me. NO car modifications required.
