Question
I went to pop my hood inside the car and it the plastic latch that you pull up is broken.  Is there another way to pop the hood?

Answer
Hi Carol.... you will need to replace the cable... but to open hood in the mean time...take a pair of vice grips and where the plastic latch is broken you will see where the cable goes into the back of it...grab the little bulb on the cable end and pull... hope this helps
