Hood won't open.

The passenger side of my hood won't release. Does anyone have any pictures of the mechanism, so I can figure out how it works, and maybe force a solution, before I start removing body panels?

Put the car on a lift and remove the fender lining. You can access the latch from underneath IIRC. I read a post about that a few years back and saw it when I was doing the airmatic replacement.

Most of the time you can get it open with 2 people. Have someone pulling on the release in the car and at the hood pound on it a little with your hand and or pull up on it.
