C320 Hood won't open!
Okay so I went to open the hood of my car and it popped just like normal... or so I thought...
I walked around up to the hood and pulled the lever like usual but when pulling up the right latch was still stuck.. So the left latch is free but the right latch is keeping the hood stuck down and now I do not know what to do.
I've talked to some people who say it could be that my release cable has broke but I can't find out the cause til I get the hood open...
So is their anyway to open the hood from underneath or some other kind of manual way?

You've probably already tried it, but have you tried pushing the left back down and retrying? Only other way that i can think of is to have someone hold the latch in the car up and trying to open it.

Is their not just a manual release from underneath?

Could it be that you left something under there when you closed it last time and its jammed? I find that the hood opening mechanism on the W203 is really rough either way and it feels like that weak *** plastic red handle will break every time I open it..
