Not sure what you mean.. Are you talking about raising it to vertical position? Or just opening it ?

Vitamins. Also, do pushups every morning. Try to build upper-body strength. Be sure to bend your legs and not lift with your back. Make sure you release the latch inside the vehicle and also the one on the front of the hood, or you'll lift the entire front of the vehicle. That is very hard to do as the engine is in there and it is quite heavy.

Uhm, how? The hood is actually fairly lightweight for its size.

Mine takes some effort...not *too* much though.Getting it to 90 degrees takes a bit of leverage but,again,not too much.
