How to open EQE 350+ front hood
Unfortunately, the front grill camera glass has cracked. Local MB dealership wants $600 for the camera. Online MB shops go as low as around $400.
So trying to install myself but I want to open the front hood. I found this is not supported/advised by MB. Regardless, I would like to at least take a look under the hood.
I have found Youtube videos showing how to access the hood release but my question is, is there any special procedure/method need to close the hood?
thanks

You'll need a flathead screwdriver pair, or a body clip removal tool. There are two clips that hold a small door in place. Once you have the two clips removed and open the access door, you can pull the latch. You'll need something to prop the hood open. Good luck!
