Now this is ratherly unusual, most time it is a "My Hood Wont Open" thread.:emotions33::happy175:
Might be that the "Latch" is tripped into the "Latched" position.
The latch needs to be Open, in other words, the V shaped groove that the catch falls into should be open all the way to the bottom and the latch in the ready to catch position.
