When I pop my hood with the lever under the steering wheel, the hood does not come out automatically like before. I have to go to the grill, and pull the plastic piece with my fingers from the inside. That plastic piece used to pop out further, now it's deeper inside.

I think it is the spring in this latch mechanism that is no longer good, on the top part of the hood. What's this called exactly? I want to order the part but I am not sure, here are some options and pictures embedded.




And options:

1) Hood
2) Insulation
3) Insulation Rivet
4) Side Side Right
5) Side Side Left
6) Front Front Back
7) Front seal
8) Striker
9) Striker Clip
10) Latch Upper
11) Latch Lower
12) Safety catch
13) Release cable At handle
14) Release cable At lock
15) Release cable Clip
16) Release cable Clamp
17) Handle
18) Hinge Right
19) Lift cylinder Back
20) Alarm switch

I got a replacement spring from my friend who works at a body shop for $12 (his cost from the dealer) after mine fell off. Not sure what it's called exactly. I just said "the sping under the hood" and he knew exactly what I was talking about. It clips right on once you get the old one off. Maybe a 3 minute job.

Hmm, have you tried just lifting the hood a bit...this usually cause the lever to extend out so you can open the hood all the way
