I cannot get my hood open. We spent 2 hours today, trying things. The hood release pulls inside the car, but it does not release the hood.

We could not find any way into the hood...

Ideas?

Thank you!!!!

I have had some success using the following method assuming the cable is still in tact if you already haven’t tried. With one person pulling on the knob from the inside, have another person apply a bouncing down force on the hood from the outside. Sometimes the up and down bouncing will release it.
